Coaching Skills for Managers and Changemakers

Coaching is an essential skill for anyone who supports others in their growth—whether you’re leading a team, guiding clients, or helping people move toward their goals. When used effectively, coaching builds trust, deepens conversations, and empowers people to take meaningful action.

In this two-day course, you’ll learn how to use a GROW based coaching approach that fosters clarity, motivation, and accountability. Whether you’re a manager, caseworker, work coach, or social prescriber, this training will equip you with practical tools you can use right away in your everyday role.

What You’ll Learn
Through interactive practice, real-life scenarios, and guided discussion, you’ll explore:
+ What coaching is (and what it isn’t): The key principles that differentiate coaching from advice-giving or mentoring.
+ The benefits of coaching: How a coaching approach can build stronger teams, improve engagement, and encourage accountability.
+ The GROW model: A simple but powerful structure to guide coaching conversations.
+ How to conduct effective coaching conversations: Step-by-step guidance and tools to keep conversations focused, supportive, and impactful.
+ Powerful coaching questions: Learn the art of asking questions that unlock insight and forward movement.
