course information and agenda:

Coaching is well understood within organisations, as is its potential for success. Participants in this course will leave with the skills needed to be an effective coach. Some of the learning outcomes for the course include the following:

Understanding coaching and its benefits - Identify differences between coaching, training, mentoring and counselling. The many potential benefits of coaching, both in and out of the workplace, are discussed. When coaching is done right, it has huge benefits for organisations.

The skills required to provide an effective coaching environment -Techniques that work to created change are explained and practised.

Awareness of the impact of your coaching style (MBTI and Kahler behaviour pattern) to provide an effective coaching environment - Your natural preferences are explained, and complement and conflict differences are explored to enhance on relationships. You have to understand how you are seen, not how you think you are seen. It is really important to do your inner work.

How to challenge thinking without alienating the coachee with effective questioning - You will learn to guide and encourage the ownership, which creates improved learning.  Listening skills are developed with the intent to understand and not reply - The majority of people don’t understand that the interventions they make can change the direction of conversation hence not getting to the route of the problem.

A variety of coaching tools and techniques are taught and practised, including:

How to pay attention to instinct rather than language which can create critical change.

Describe how Transactional Analysis is used in coaching to understand your motivations and behaviours. To fully comprehend how you project onto others and the consequences of this in a relationship.

We discuss various tools and techniques, but more importantly, how to avoid relying on them.

Powerful reflection to enhance a coaching session - Delegates learn to self explore, which creates different ways of thinking. The power of reflection is an undeniably valuable technique that must be learned correctly. We examine reflection in action, reflection on action, and reflexivity, as well as various models of reflection.

Explore ethics and contracting - Learn about internal and external contracting and how it affects the coaching relationship. We talk about good coaching practises and how ethics can influence the coaching conversation.

Practise coaching sessions with delegates - Delegates undertake several practise sessions to apply the skills and techniques taught. When learning to be a coach it is all about application and feedback is critical when learning to be an effective coach.

On day two, there is an assessed session that will be assessed against the I.L.M. approved standards.

This course is delivered by an Ashridge accredited MSc Coach. 

Emphasis is made on the application and practise; not just reading theory with an aim for coaching to be fully understood. Delegates will leave the course fully understaning the coaching process and will have skills to start their coaching journey. 

All coaching courses are enhanced by membership in our Mind Shift programme, which provides access to over 150 short power packed video lessons, designed to support, enhance, and grow your coaching knowledge, as well as live on-line sessions for a period of 12 months.

★★★★★ "A fabulous 2 days coaching training with Claire Moody. A new way of thinking and many "light bulb" moments during the course and I am thirsty to continue my development in the future with Claire. I have already put the learning into practice in my work role helping others. I would highly recommend Target Training Associates." Veronica Young, RAFBF.

The course was so well designed and organized that I immediately felt comfortable with the material and how it was presented. It was structured yet flexible." Raigan Bastainoni.

★★★★★ "I highly recommend Target Training Associates. For any manager of people, new or experienced, developing yourself through coaching is highly valuable if you truly understand your responsibility to others and to yourself. The staff were amazing; friendly, professional, approachable, sharing and clearly knew their stuff. The coaching experience didn't just help me to enhance my own management skills, it also helped me to reflect on me as a person and showed me how to reach my own personal goals." Irene Greenwood, RAFBF.
