Overview

🕮 Cross Civil Service

If you regularly need to coach colleagues, especially around personal development and performance improvement, this course will help you to understand the main principles of coaching. You’ll be introduced to a framework for effective coaching and to techniques for active listening, questioning and summarising.

You will also be encouraged to differentiate between when it’s appropriate to coach ‘on the go’ and when this should take place behind closed doors. This will also help adapt your coaching style to both formal and informal situations, improving the likelihood of securing consensus and buy-in after a coaching discussion.
