Introduction

Coaching staff to help them improve their performance and to enhance their personal development is an essential skill for effective managers within high performing companies and organisations. Supporting staff and line managers to problem solve and deliver, without direct supervision, requires managers who continually update and improve their own coaching skills.

This Advanced Coaching Skills course is designed to support managers who are using a basic coaching model. It will provide them with additional coaching tools, as well as providing them with an opportunity to work with fellow coaching managers and to obtain constructive feedback.
