We’re excited to be launching our new Coaching Skills Workshop as part of our growing in‑house development offer, shaped directly by feedback from the Colleague Voice Survey where we heard the demand for more development opportunities.

The power of coaching 

Coaching is a core capability of our strategy to 2035, focussing on inclusive, empowering ways of working. By adopting a coaching mindset, you can empower others to solve problems independently, building critical thinking skills and long-term confidence that enables teams to perform at their best. 

What’s involved 

During this 3-hour, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamental skills needed to take a coaching approach in the workplace. We’ll explore a range of practical tools, models, and frameworks that you can use immediately. Through group discussions and practical exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to practice coaching techniques in a safe and supportive environment. We’re offering both in-person and virtual workshops.

Who it’s for

This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in using coaching to support their own or others’ development, including line managers and people leaders.
