Training for Coaching

Coaching supports reflection, goal setting and personal or professional development. Explore active listening, questioning, the coaching relationship and the boundaries of the role. Select training that matches your intended practice and the context in which you support others.

A coaching conversation needs an agreed purpose and a clear understanding of the roles involved. Listening and questioning can help a person examine a situation and identify possible actions. The practitioner must also recognise the limits of the relationship and the importance of confidentiality. Reviewing goals and commitments supports continuity, while some situations may require referral to another form of professional support.

Review the individual course programme to check its scope, prerequisites and relevance to your responsibilities. Choose a learning path that reflects your experience, the situations you encounter and the skills you want to develop.
