Free Practical Coaching Skills course

A coach guides an individual or a group towards achieving results by holding conversations and doing exercises. Think, for example, of overcoming fears, holding particular conversations, meeting deadlines, improving relationships and performing well at work.

During coaching sessions, the coach does not tell the coachee what to do or how to do it, and does not give unsolicited advice either. What the coach does do is challenge and guide the coachee to draw on their own knowledge and strengths, so as to achieve goals in a self-directed way. The coach chooses coaching interventions that lead to new insights and perspectives on the coaching question, and makes others realise that they are always responsible for their own development. A good coach gets others moving!

Since becoming a good coach takes practice, this online course has been set up so that you can genuinely get to work in practical terms. Each chapter includes exercises that are a must to actually carry out. If you would like personal guidance, feedback and more practice, take a look at one of the following courses: Practical Coaching Skills or Coaching Leadership. If you are looking for a coach yourself, opt for a programme Personal Coaching.
