Foundation coaching skills

Over the last fifteen years, coaching has been increasingly recognised as a highly effective tool in talent development, staff retention and employee engagement. However, we have found that relatively few managers and leaders fully understand how to use coaching most powerfully within their role, and our foundation coaching skills workshop aims to address this.

About the workshop This workshop is a training programme where participants learn the core models and techniques of high quality coaching. They also study the theoretical underpinnings behind coaching, allowing their personal coaching practice to move beyond a mere management tool and become a mechanism for increased learning and higher performance. Unlike many other introductory coaching programmes, our three-day module features a high level of leadership development. Coaching cannot achieve sustainable results unless it is rooted within a specific organisational context. For this reason, participants are challenged to examine their personal leadership style and find ways of integrating coaching

7

into their daily responsibilities. Our faculty will also encourage participants to explore the changes that they need to make in their own behaviour and actions, in order to both coach effectively and to sustain the development and learning of themselves and those they manage. Each participant will receive a certificate of attendance from TPC Leadership on completion of the module. This certificate can then be used as a record and can be utilised for accredited prior learning for our professional coach development programmes. Participants that are interested in achieving the EMCC EQA award at Foundation Level will be able to attain this by completing some coaching practice and providing evidence of their learning. This can be discussed on request, but it will always be our recommendation to ensure participants embed their learning.

Benefits of the course Participants will learn to:

• develop core coach competencies • understand the key skills and models for coaching and

be able to apply these in a coaching relationship • define coaching and understand the range of coaching

styles • understand the boundaries for a coaching relationship

and how to contract effectively • use a variety of tools and techniques which will enable

them to coach in a variety of contexts • explore the importance of supervision within coaching • self reflect and appraise coaching capabilities to identify

areas for personal development in coaching and plan for new learning.

ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching

Our ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching is for coaches that will be working with managers and leaders.

Course outline

Central principles

The central principles that underpin our ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching programme are that the advanced skills and behaviours implicit in being an executive coach cannot be developed at a single event. We believe that the opportunity to apply the skills in the real world – to review, learn and adapt – are essential to successful implementation of skills building programmes if they are to be sustained and fully embedded within the working patterns of our participants and their organisation.

It is for this reason that our programmes emphasise the need for coaching practise and include a heavy focus on experiential learning and feedback; they are composed of a number of separate but related events. Our ILM Level 5 programme will examine a wide range of skills and abilities in preparing participants to take on the role of an effective coach.

Key elements • In order to prepare participants for the programme and

accreditation, clarify individual concerns and enable personal objectives to be set, each participant is briefed by one of the programme leaders. This involves attending a ‘virtual’ group session with participants.

• Each participant will be personally tutored throughout the programme.

• The ‘Foundation Coaching Skills’ workshop covers the core coaching topics in a variety of learning styles, introduces key concepts and provides a forum for discussing best practice and the critical conversations that need to take place between the participants, colleagues and those they are likely to coach in enabling them to learn, perform and enjoy their work.

• Each participant completes an Emotional Quotient Inventory Assessment to provide them with in-depth feedback on their emotional intelligence, a key component of effective coach development.

• The ‘Creating Insights’ and 'Advanced Coaching Skills' workshops build on the ‘Foundation Coaching Skills’ event to teach skills, techniques and models that develop the coaches’ ability to work in increasingly challenging situations. Each workshop combines elements of theory, practice and discussion about the practical implications of using the new skills and their application in a working context.

• Coaching practice: throughout the programme, participants are expected to identify and formally coach a set number of coachees away from the workshops. ILM Level 5 requires 12 hours of coaching practice.

10

• Co-Supervision / Buddies. After the first workshop we ask participants to form buddy relationships. This has two key purposes. Firstly, it creates a working relationship where a colleague can share their coaching experiences, develop and play with ideas and concepts, practice key coaching tools and problem solve. Secondly, as part of the course, participants are introduced to a simple supervision model which the buddy pairings then use formally to review their coaching practise with their practice clients. It is our experience that this enables participants to deepen their knowledge of applied learning and helps to introduce the value of supervision.

• Participants are required to use a “Reflective Learning Log” throughout the duration of the programme, which includes a variety of forms used to aid their learning, including self evaluation and feedback forms and coaching session reports, together with details of additional learning requirements. For certification they are required to produce 3 assignments of 2000-2500 words in length.

• All participants must pass a Practical Assessment of their coaching skill and ability at the end of the programme (day 6).

• Following the completion of the workshop element of the programme, each participant attends a post-programme virtual group session designed to help them embed their learning and their coaching experience, provide insight into / guidance to the portfolio submission and to challenge and focus their ongoing development.

• Participants will also have access to TPC Leadership’s Learning Management System (LMS) which provides learners with access to our coaching demonstration videos, webinars, online discussion forums, resources, forms and information concerning the programme, e.g. joining instructions.

Agile Project Coaching Certification

“Shifting beliefs and enhancing team behaviour for a positive impact on results.”

Our Agile Project Coaching Certificate combines cutting edge systems thinking from scrum, lean, agile methods, agile project management and executive and team coaching. It is aimed at project managers, scrum masters, agile coaches, PMO staff, programme managers, portfolio managers and transformation leaders that are passionate about developing high-performing individuals, teams and team leaders, so that projects and teams have the resilience, commitment and trust to get the job done.

This is not just another ‘turn-up certification route’ that focuses on the process; this is about ‘being’ an agile coach and not just the ‘doing’. This is about engaging, inspiring and building leaders and teams to have the autonomy, mastery and purpose to really hold agile values - not just within a software development environment, but to have the resilience, confidence and authority to drive organisational agility across the whole of the ‘system’. For those that successfully complete the training, it will enable the shift in them, so that senior level

15

executives will recognise they have the authority, presence and impact to make it happen.

Participants successfully completing the course may gain accreditation with the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) at either Level 5 Certificate or Level 7 Certificate in Coaching, dependent on the organisational level of the people they are supporting.

The ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching aims to develop agile coaches working at the most senior levels within organisations, coaching leaders and teams within Executive and Director positions or with strategic responsibility; the ILM Level 5 Certificate aims to develop agile coaches coaching on a 1-2-1 or team basis with managers and leaders.

Our programme will examine a wide range of skills and abilities in preparing participants to take on the role of an effective agile coach.

Key elements • In order to prepare participants for their programme,

clarify individual concerns and enable personal objectives to be set, each participant is briefed by one of the programme leaders in a virtual group session.


• The ‘Leadership Coaching Skills’ workshop covers the core coaching topics in a variety of learning styles, introduces key concepts and provides a forum for discussing best practice and the critical conversations that need to take place between the participants and those they are likely to coach in enabling them to learn, perform and enjoy their work. It also develops understanding of the application of key principles, practices from Lean, Agile and Waterfall and working with the mix of methodologies.

• The ‘Coaching Leadership Teams and Groups’ and ‘Advanced Leadership and Team Coaching’ workshops

16

build on the ‘Leadership Coaching Skills’ event to teach skills, techniques, and models that develop the agile coach's ability to work in increasingly challenging situations within leadership, group and team and organisational situations. The workshop combines elements of theory, practice and discussion about the practical implications of using the new agile coaching skills and their application in an organisational context.

• Coaching Practice. Throughout the programme, participants are expected to identify and formally coach a set number of coachees away from the workshops (on a 1-2-1 and team basis). Level 7 requires evidence of 20 hours of coaching practice and Level 5 requires evidence of 12 hours of coaching practice.

• Co-Supervision / Buddies: after the first workshop we ask participants to form buddy relationships. This has two key purposes. Firstly, it creates a working relationship where a colleague can share their coaching experiences, develop and play with ideas and concepts, practice using key coaching tools and problem solve. Secondly, as part of the course, participants are introduced to a simple supervision model where the buddy pairings then formally review their agile coaching practice with their practice clients. It is our experience that this enables participants to deepen their knowledge of applied learning and helps to introduce the value of supervision.

• Virtual group supervision: during the course of the programme participants will complete 4 x 1.5 hour group supervision sessions. These are delivered via our virtual meeting software and provide a professional space for participants to share and reflect upon application and learning whilst undertaking their agile coaching practice.

• Participants are required to use a “reflective learning log” throughout the duration of the programme, which includes a variety of forms used to aid their learning, including self evaluation and feedback forms and coaching session reports, together with details of

17

additional learning requirements. For ILM certification participants are required to produce three written assignments.

• All participants must pass a practical assessment of their 1-2-1 coaching skill and ability at the end of the programme (day 6).

• Following the completion of the workshop element of the programme, each participant receives a further group session designed to help them embed their learning from the programme and their coaching experience, provide support in terms of their portfolio submission and to challenge and focus their ongoing development.

• Participants will also have access to TPC Leadership’s Learning Management System (LMS), which provides learners with access to our coach demonstration films, webinars, on-line discussion forums, resources, forms and information concerning the programme, e.g. joining instructions.

Postgraduate Study Options

TPC Leadership, in partnership with the University of Portsmouth Business School, created and delivered the first MSc in Coaching in the UK around eight years ago. For 2012, the curriculum has been evaluated and redesigned to create a new programme that we believe is most relevant to and fit for today’s times. We have also created an enhanced learning experience, augmented with new media to create a flexible learning path. Whether you are an internal or external coach, this postgraduate programme will help you make an incredible difference to your coachees by enabling you to create sustainable change.

We provide a holistic approach to coach development, taking the very best of what experience has shown us are the most effective disciplines for coaching, so we are not just tied to one form of coaching. Consequently, we work with a number of psychological models and other disciplines, giving coaches a range of tools and techniques that create the most impact for the coachee in their specific context.

Continuing professional development (CPD) courses

Our CPD courses aim to offer inspiring, experiential and highly practical development to enhance your coaching practice.

These sessions are very intimate with a restricted number of participants, as we want to create an incredible learning space and experience for you.

Who is our CPD programme aimed at? • Our CPD workshops and programmes are for

experienced coaches and/or our alumni. • To attend our CPD workshops you will need to have

completed previous coach training with us or be an experienced coach. An interview process is in place to assess potential participants for these workshops.

What CPD programmes do you offer? We are currently offering 2 CPD programmes:

• 'Coaching and Mindfulness' (2 days) • 'A Gestalt Approach to Coaching' (2 days)

These are all detailed below.

44

Coaching and Mindfulness (2 days) Some of the now much-discussed benefits of developing a mindful meditation practice speak directly to some of the biggest challenges that face us as coaches in serving our clients in the most helpful way, consistently. Benefits such as an enhanced ability to be present, calm and focused and having an increased sense of connection, empathy and compassion are at the core of good coaching. Many coaches report that developing a mindfulness practice has had more impact on their coaching and facilitation work than any other self-development they have done.

When you look at this list of benefits and add to it those connected with general health and wellbeing, it is also apparent that mindfulness can impact many aspects of your life. As such, it can also be hugely helpful to some clients, whether that means helping them to become more grounded and connected as a leader or coping better with vast workloads and stress.

In this workshop we will explore in more depth the benefits that becoming more mindful can bring to your coaching, and also when and how you might introduce mindfulness to clients.

Most importantly, mindfulness is practice not theory, and in order to really begin to understand what it is ‘to be mindful’, it is necessary to experience it - not just talk (or read) about it.

Module aims The module aims to help you

• learn what mindfulness is and is not • understand the neuropsychology and benefits of a

mindfulness practice • learn techniques for presence, grounding and centering

as coach • learn at least 3 mindfulness meditation practices • develop a sense of how mindfulness might benefit your

practice as a coach.

45

A Gestalt approach to coaching (2 days) The goal of Gestalt Coaching is raising a client’s awareness of how he/she is currently experiencing or making meaning of reality, so that he or she has more choices and can take more responsibility for designing or authorising his or her own life.

Getstalt coaching concentrates on helping clients develop awareness

• of how they are currently seeing or experiencing things • of what other ways they could see or experience the

same things.

The ultimate aim is to help the client see things more positively (without losing a sense of reality).

How does Gestalt Coaching do this? • Method 1: Through creative experiments which are

designed solely to develop the client’s awareness • Method 2: Through developing a dialogic or horizontal

relationship • Method 3: Through mindfulness training and activities

Module aims This module aims to help you

• understand the meaning of the word Gestalt • draw the Gestalt cycle or wave of awareness; explain the

interconnections between that cycle and the Gestalt cycle of contact and withdrawal and the Gestalt cycle of figure and ground - and give illustrative examples from their coaching sessions

• understand why awareness is a central feature of Gestalt • understand what is meant by the field and explain how

an individual actively (although unconsciously) organises his / her field

• use experiments and experimental approaches to help coachees radically increase their awareness – especially their awareness in relationship to the life dilemmas they bring to coaching sessions

46

• describe an equal or horizontal coaching relationship and co-create such a relationship.
