Essential training launched: Coaching Skills For Leaders!

Essential training launched: Coaching Skills For Leaders! 

We are pleased to announce the launch of a four-week online course designed to develop fundamental coaching skills necessary for effective and authentic leadership.

Coaching skills are an integral part of people management. But we know these skills aren't always easy to deliver in practice, that’s why we’ve curated a four week course facilitated by an experienced Executive Coach. As well as self led learning the course will feature three live classrooms in which you’ll be able to try out your new coaching skills with your cohort and receive coaching guidance. 

Requiring an approximate time commitment of three to four hours per week and consisting of live online classrooms and self-directed learning, the course is comprised of the following elements:

Coaching Context
Investigate the difference between coaching, managing and leadership and start to map out your own coaching context and create a Coaching Manifesto - a document listing the coaching skills you want to develop.

Diving In
This week you’ll learn about the key questions you should be asking and what a 'good' coaching conversation looks like. You’ll also learn about the OSCAR coaching methodology and practice applying it to a real life work challenge with your peers in your live classroom.

Your Achilles’ Heel
Explore effective listening skills such as Open Questioning and examine common negative listening habits and how to avoid them.

Take Action
This week we’ll look at creating a culture of coaching in your workplace, and discuss what the barriers to this might be. You’ll also take your learning from the past three weeks and finalise your Coaching Manifesto.

Angharad Irvine, Clore Social Leadership Director of Leadership Programmes commented: 

"There are so many benefits to adopting effective coaching skills as a leader: it helps with solution finding, improves listening and communication skills, enhances team performance and develops a positive and empowering culture. We are really excited about how this course will equip current and emerging leaders with the skill set to thrive in our dynamic social sector."
