The five day Foundation Course will give an overview of the essential elements of coaching and investigate how coaching can be used in leadership practice. The programme is jointly led and devised by Carol Wilson & Deborah Barnard.
Participants will learn how to incorporate coaching skills into their leadership practice through an exploration of enhanced communication and 'rapport' techniques to include:
- Active listening: the Five Levels of Listening
- Effective questioning: open/closed questions v judgmental/leading questions
- Effective feedback: positive/negative/the Coaching Feedback model
- The key principles of coaching
- Building trust
- Authenticity not 'tricks'
- Setting goals & motivation
- What ‘blocks’ progression
After attending the five day programme you can choose to attend a further sixth day to achieve accreditation as a coach. The accreditation process will involve passing a live assessment; co-coaching; delivering a series of coaching sessions with up to three clients; producing a case study and a written discourse on coaching and leadership practice.
