Transformational coaching training created by the pioneers of Performance Coaching. Through a fuller understanding of the power of coaching, coaches and leaders are invited to create and lead interdependent organizations in which people can grow and fulfil their potential.

A very effective mix of learning methods – lecture, practice and experience. I attend a lot for courses and events and this was truly exceptional in its scope and professionalism. I really valued the time spent and the attention given.

What makes this training unique?

This professional coaching programme teaches transformational coaching skills to an advanced level so that you will have more breadth and range in your coaching toolkit. And, unlike other programmes, it is not based on life coaching so you will be able to start applying the skills within organizations immediately knowing that you have what you need to be a world-class performance coach.

Over 40 years ago, our programme was the first of it’s kind in the world. It is still the industry gold-standard because of the impact that it has:

  • Leaders create and lead interdependent teams in which people can grow and fulfil their potential
  • Leaders are able to align individual, team and organizational goals that create a positive impact on the working culture
  • Leaders help others to build their awareness, laying the foundation for their future leadership capability within the team and organization
  • Leaders learn to relate to others from a paradigm of trust – the key to being a great Leader
  • Self-awareness is improved – understanding why you do what you do
  • Performance is improved by self-managing and overcoming interference to achieving potential
  • Awareness of others improves which enables you to spot people’s strengths, interferences and motivations to inspire and collaborate more successfully with individuals and teams
  • Social skills are improved
  • Active listening skills are improved

We have trained thousands of Performance Coaches in over 20 countries and all have seen the benefits of Coaching for Performance.

  • Able to relate to others from a paradigm of trust
  • Confident to coach after “real play” coaching practices and the experience of being coached
  • Developed a coaching “toolbox” of useful models and coaching skills and mindset
  • Have learnt and applied foundational philosophy and models of coaching in organizations
  • Understand what organizational coaching is and the context within which it sits
  • Be able to demonstrate the ICF core competencies of a Coach
  • Have established your particular style as a performance coach and learned how to develop it
  • Know about the coaching relationship, in terms of framework, processes and outcomes
  • Understanding of models and structures that provide a robust process for high performance coaching engagements that get results.

“It is the quality and daringness of material that sets this programme apart
