Coaching skills for leaders

Course description

Coaching can be an empowering and effective way of developing people’s skills and abilities, and boosting individual and team performance.  We often think of coaching as only being for executives or sporting stars - but it is an excellent skill for leaders to have in their toolbox! 

This full-day workshop aims to help participants understand the value of coaching, to develop and deepen their coaching skills and learn how to set up a conversation for success. The workshop will help participants to develop their coaching competency and practice their skills in a safe and supportive learning environment.

The facilitator, Julie Lines, is an ICF Credentialed Coach (PCC), coach educator and trainer, who is regularly involved in the delivery of ICF accredited coach training programs. To ensure maximum opportunity for participants to practice their skills, Julie will be joined by Philippa Hurford, who is also an ICF Credentialed Coach (ACC).
