Experience what it’s like to be an executive coach and begin to understand the power and success of coaching.

If learning to be an exceptional executive coach is a journey, then this exciting 2-day course is your threshold!

Training you can trust.
Our experience and commitment to you.
This 2 day programme will introduce you to the principles and practice of coaching. Not only will you learn how to use an effective four stage model that will allow you to begin coaching right away, you will also discover what kind of coaching is right for you.

Our aim is to provide you with a robust initial learning journey that enhances your skills, deepens your understanding and inspires you.

What's special about this course? As the market has matured and coaching has become embedded in everyday language and business life, we noticed the gap has widened between people who have been exposed to coaching (e.g. been coached, worked in a coaching manner or done an NLP course) and those with no prior experience of coaching.

With this programme we want to provide you with the appropriate door into executive coaching…and to do all possible to ensure you are learning alongside similarly experienced coaches.

Discover and learn

Is coaching for me?
The Executive Coaching Certificate will allow you to experience coaching first-hand to help you decide whether you wish to train further in coaching and proceed onto our Practitioner Diploma (formerly Intermediate). It is perfectly suited for both those who are looking to take their interpersonal skills to the next level as well as those considering integrating coaching into their work or embarking on a career as an executive coach.

How can I introduce coaching into my organisation?
Understand the unique transformational ability of coaching from the inside out so you can confidently introduce coaching into your organisation.

What kind of coaching is right for me?
Reflect on and discover your personal coaching style and type of coaching you most enjoy. (e.g. life coaching, career coaching, business coaching, performance coaching, transformational coaching)

The coaching context: why – when – who?
Coaching is the most effective approach for a variety of frequent business issues, for example: alignment of goals between individuals, teams and organisation; career transition; overcoming poor or ineffective relationships with colleagues; effective action planning.

Do I have what it takes to be a great coach?
If this is a whole new area for you then you’ll be able to explore further whether this is a good career choice for you and to talk to a highly qualified coach as part of the process.
