Programme Details
Coaching is understood as a tool to help people promote their professional ambition, unravel professional challenges and is increasingly adopted as a day-to-day leadership process of providing support, to help employees identify opportunities and achieve individual development goals.
Those who succeed with a coaching style enable employees to gain awareness and reflection, generate their own answers, require less control and directing, and have a desire to help them develop and flourish (Porritt, 2021).
The position we take is that it is never too late to receive coaching or to foster the attitudes, attributes and behaviours associated with becoming a coach. By that we mean…
- Curiosity
- Openness
- Agency
- Conscientiousness
- Healthy practices
