Can your managers weather the economic storm?
These are scary times, but there is unanimous agreement that it is those organisations that continue to invest in people development that will survive the downturn and be best placed to take advantage of the upturn.
You may be having to make some tough choices with your training budget at the moment and may not be able to undertake all the training that you’d planned.
Investing in coaching skills training means:
- Line managers take up the learning and development agenda which means that there is less strain on the learning and development team
- Training budgets stretch further and there is far less wasted money
- Line managers provide learning and development to their people every working day instead of just sending people on courses
- Learning and development is tailored to what the individual and the organisation needs, at the time they need it.
Who would benefit?
- Managers responsible for the development of others
- Team leaders and supervisors who want to improve the team’s results
- Line managers who want a structured and effective method of performing their scheduled one to ones and similar meetings
- Line managers who want to develop their staff in their current role and also longer term

"This was a great course - one of the best I've been on. Thought provoking enough to stay interesting throughout and of great value to me personally and, potentially for the School. We need this approach more widely taken up."
Ian Neal, Associate Dean, University of Sunderland
Course Overview
Our recommended approach consists of a 2-day initial course with a 1-day follow up scheduled for between 1 and 3 months later. This turns a 3 day course into a 90 day development programme.
The 2-day course covers the philosophies, principles and skills of coaching. With a practical bias and a focus on workplace issues, the aim is to enable participants to discover how to achieve results by coaching through discussion, demonstration and practise in an atmosphere of high support. It is a highly participative and enjoyable event and includes some light physical activity.
The 1-day follow up enables participants to reconvene in order to discuss the achievements and issues they have encountered whilst implementing their new skills. The day also provides opportunities for detailed planning so that coaching behaviours are focused on selling more, reducing costs, increasing quality and so on.
"I wasn’t really looking forward to attending yet another coaching course, but this was completely different to what I’ve done before. A lot more relevant to my work and a refreshing change."
Sian Powell-Tanner, Team Leader, Egg

Matt's report deals with building a coaching culture in an organisation. This is something that in my opinion is so much more worthwhile and productive than providing executive or specialist outside coaching to organisations. It can really make a difference " Sir John Whitmore
