Effective Coaching Skills for Leaders (Live Online) Reviews

There was lots of practice which really helped me

A great overview of the theory and some coaching techniques with time to put them into practice too.

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.

It was a valuable experience, led in a very energetic and empathetic way, which calmed any fears I may have had about the course being 'right for me'. The coaching skills echoed with much of the Listening training I have done in the past, and it was brilliant to take this further in the coaching style, both for helping others in managing life-balance, and setting some goals, and feeling in control over their lives. The experience 0f actually having the safe space to reflect and speak out your inner thoughts, with the right questions 'and what else' approach is very empowering! Makes change possible!
