Comments from previous participants

Our leadership team attended the Coaching For Managers course a few months ago and found the whole experience very informative.  It challenged us to think differently about our approach to how we talk with our teams, putting the emphasis on empowering them to discover how they would approach and resolve problems. The practical nature of the course enabled us to put in practice some of the skills learned and we took advantage of the follow up session offered to further practice our new skills. We came away with the feeling that, as a team, we are now aligned in our approach. In the months since the course we have seen a noticeable improvement in how we have team conversations.
