The aim of this diploma is to enable you to expertly coach leaders and senior executives within an organisational context at an advanced level. You will identify the type of clients you work best with, ensure you get the results you contract for and feel completely confident in your coaching practice.
The programme is ideal for both internal and external coaches. Organisations that we have worked with include Hallmark Cards, Plymouth University and Resurgo Spear.
Advanced coaching skills – businesses have increasingly stricter requirements for hiring coaching professionals as the market matures and becomes more sophisticated. This diploma goes deeper into coaching methodology, psychological theories and practice as it equips you with skills beyond the core coaching competencies that will enable you to expand your capabilities and grow your business.
How to do more in service of your clients – developing a greater understanding and knowledge of leadership models and theory will enable you to better support your senior executive and leadership clients as you learn how to create the right foundations to facilitate personal transformation.
Who you are as a coach and finesse your own signature model – you will challenged and supported as you create your own learning. With an emphasis on doing, you will be practising a wider range of techniques and will receive rigorous feedback in order to give you a deeper insight into who you are as a coach, allow you to live your values and be able to authentically express who you are.
How to be more confident as a coach – we will work with you to support you as you grow in confidence and learn to truly trust yourself as a coaching professional. Adding a higher level of quality to your coaching approach, you will be stretched in a safe environment and will gain new perspectives as you work closely in your peer group and with faculty.
This programme requires 14 days over 13 months and consists of several key elements:
Core curriculum – explores what makes advanced coaching advanced, a number of psychological schools of thought and the systemic context of executive coaching.
Skills practise and experiential learning – the AoEC highly values experiential learning and the importance of practising skills in a safe, expertly guided environment. Working in client-coach-observer practice groups, participants will receive robust feedback in order to drive consistent improvement.
Personal development – greater awareness of yourself improves your understanding of others. On the programme, we focus on us as a system and the interactions that take place within it.
An important element of coaching is the understanding of the relationship – our own, and our clients’ responses. You will also be provided with group supervision.
Together we will create a learning environment in which you will choose a style that best suits you and your coaching practice. Each participant will also act as the client to enhance coaching practise and address real business and development issues.
In order to achieve a vibrant learning community that reflects the dynamics of an organisational system, we have chosen a structure that draws on all our experience of best practice.
