Effective Coaching Skills for Leaders (Live Online) Reviews

I found the breaks quite short for the length of the sessions- I'd have preferred a slightly shorter lunch and then 10 or 15 minutes for the breaks. It was a long time to be sitting. Some other strategies were mentioned (constellation activity) are these included in the slides when we get them? could there be a resource pack which includes more strategies to use?

Useful content, well delivered. Thinking about examples to use is difficult during the course, so having 2-3 before attending would have helped.

BRILLIANT. Totally worth a day's time in a busy schedule.

Overall I thought the training was excellent and I am coming away with lots of takeaways and things to reflect on. It was beneficial to spend time in break-out groups practicing the techniques, as this enabled us to immediately put into action what we had learnt and then share any dificulties. If we had more time, I would have liked to go more in depth and receive direct/ tailored feedback from the faciliator.

Really positive and enjoyable experience - learnt so much and plenty to take away and apply. The best training course I've done and it makes me reflect on where my skills/interest might lie - if coaching is something I would like to do more of.

I didn't have any assumptions coming into the course, but I felt that the leader of the course really helped arm me with some great tools to help me coach and be a better manager for my team. I feel more confident that I can approach issues and queries in a better way, and I am really looking forward to trying some of these skills out in my 1-2-1s with my team members.

It was very refreshing to be part of such an interactive training session. This was particularly important since the course was online. So many training courses are just being 'talked at' and endless slides. The variety of interactive methods used kept the whole group engaged throughout which is a difficult task.

Very well structured and informative course. A lot of role playing to practice coaching skills, I felt it was really helpful.

Nicky was an excellent facilitator. I know how hard it is to deliver sessions on zoom but it was the right balance of learning materials and breaking out to practice live examples. The two hour self-study section in the middle worked well to combat zoom fatigue. My only comment was some of the content in the second half the course felt a bit repetitive but that could be more to do with the nature of the topic and the fact its much more about self-exploration.

I think the course was well paced, plenty of breaks and really like that we had two hours away from Zoom for self study. I like variation of break outs, group discussion, writing in the chat/jamboard to keep things engaging and I felt all the instructions were clear throughout. Nikki was also an engaging and friendly facilitator. I felt like the training could have been an hour shorter or instead with more personal stories and facilitators sharing of 'best practice' as it started to feel a bit repetitive during the end and some of the questions like the 'what else' could have been explained that it might not fit with every scenario/some guidance on the types of scenarios work best with those questions as I felt people struggled with that exercise.
