Coaching Skills for Managers – Advance booking

coaching skills for managers

Coaching is an excellent way to support other people’s development, create a culture of ownership and build trust. This programme – now used widely across the charity sector – is designed to help participants unlock the ability and potential of team members or peers.

In a deeply practical one-day programme we draw on =mc’s extensive experience of coaching individuals in person and remotely. Participants learn to use a number of frameworks and tools to develop a coaching relationship with colleagues and guide them to higher performance. They will learn how to use the well-proven GROW model to empower others and encourage self-reliant, confident teams.

This online learning programme is split into two half-day sessions taking place on 11th and 12th September 2024.

Each session starts at 09.30 and finishes at 13.00 BST (GMT+1)

Investment: £190 +VAT

=mc uses Zoom as a virtual classroom, where the modules will take place. The platform enables high levels of participation. To take part in =mc online learning you will need access to a computer with a working microphone, speakers (or headphones) and a webcam. You’ll need to be in a quiet space with a good internet connection.
Sorry the date doesn't work for you this time. All our public training is scheduled when enough demand is there, so please register your interest here, and we'll let you know as soon as a new date is set.
If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.

These include:
  • your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
  • tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
  • self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course). Contact us online or call 020 7978 1516 to speak to one of our experienced consultants.
This programme has been assessed by The Institute of Leadership, and meets with their standards for high quality training. This means for an additional fee you can gain a well-recognised certificate – which is an excellent addition to your CV. Note that you need to attend all sessions of the course in order to qualify for the certification.

This costs just £65 +VAT and with it come the following additional benefits:
  • Digital certificate showing achievement;
  • Free Student Membership for one year – which will convert to Professional Membership (Associate) on completion of the course;
  • Digital credential confirming professional grade, allowing the use of AMInstLM after your name;
  • Access to My Leadership, The Institute’s award-winning digital learning resources;
  • Access to events, professional seminars and webinars;
  • Access to a community of over 30,000 leaders;
  • Access to Edge online (The Institute’s online digital journal).
If you'd like to go ahead with this please let us know when booking your place and we'll get things set up.

We'll send you an invoice for £65 +VAT. This is the direct cost from The Institute - there's no fee from us added on top.

Note: please let us know if you need the invoice addressing to you personally rather than you at your organisation (e.g. if you're paying for it yourself).

Who is the programme for?

This programme is designed for managers who are responsible for others’ work or development. It is particularly helpful when working with hybrid or remote teams. It is also useful for HR professionals keen to improve their skills and share these with managers in their organisation.

“It was great to have the chance to have a go at using the skills as we learnt them. I’ve created an action plan to follow that I’ll be using with my team.”

Adam Buckles, Legacy Manager, The Brooke
