Coaching Professional

Engaging with you in advance of starting the apprenticeship is crucial to ensure the coaches we develop can effectively support your employees, deliver the desired impact for your organisation and create a fantastic learning experience for the apprentices. Feedback and dialogue are vital to this process. To support this, each client is provided with an Account Manager who, alongside being the main point of contact for your internal stakeholder, starts every client engagement by exploring your coaching strategy to ensure that it is correctly aligned to meet your strategic needs. As experts in coaching and mentoring, this is a core competence for us.

Once we have understood your strategy, we will then be in a position to adjust our delivery approach (for in house programmes only) to ensure the Coaching Professional programme is developing the right set of skills, tools and techniques in your coaches. For example, if your organisation plans to use the internal coaching pool to help your future leaders’ transition more effectively in your organisation, then we will include specific content on transition coaching to ensure your internal coaches have the capability to effectively support this strategic goal.

Once the delivery approach and strategic focus is agreed, we then work with you to identify the best fit employees to become part of your coaching pool. We work with each apprentice to ensure they understand the required commitment and assess their coaching capability. We adjust our delivery approach by enrolling them on an appropriately tailored programme to ensure no overlap in skill development.
