Hide-Programme Overview
This unique part-time, fully-accredited diploma programme is designed for experienced coaches looking to take their coaching to the next level. It focuses on the psychological dimension of coaching, developing participants ’ability to “raise coachee’s awareness of their ingrained patterns of behaviour”, the most important quality required of coaches by sponsors in large organisations (Ridler Report 2013).
A key feature is the focus on personal development, rooted in the firm belief that it is vital for participants to have personal experience of challenging their own ingrained patterns of behaviour as a basis for working effectively with clients.
The combination of theory, practice, personal and professional development transforms participants’ ability to work more deeply and effectively with their clients.
Who is it for?
• Business coaches seeking to develop their theoretical understanding of, and capability to work with, the psychological aspects of coaching;
• HR Directors/Training/OD Consultants with a coaching background looking to expand their knowledge and skills in the psychological aspects of coaching;
• Line Managers with coaching backgrounds wishing to enhance their capacity to work with the psychological aspects of coaching;
• Retiring executives with a coaching background aiming to expand their portfolio of consultancy by working with the psychological aspects of coaching.
Programme Benefits
This programme will add significant value to the practice of both independent coaches and internal coaches operating within organisations.
• Utilise a wide range of psychological perspectives to enhance coaching practice, offering new ways to understand clients and what is happening during sessions;
• Gain a much deeper understanding of ingrained patterns of behaviour which can be utilised with coaches and for the benefit of other professional and personal relationships;
• Gain a sound understanding of six psychological traditions of particular relevance to business and executive coaching and the ability to apply this knowledge to the benefit of clients;
• Undertake significant personal development through the highly experiential nature of the training, which is underpinned by Gestalt principles of working with ‘what is’ in the here and now.
Programme Structure
This programme is delivered over a series of 12 days involving 6 workshops within a 10-12 month period. 100% attendance is required. A different theme or psychological perspective is introduced at each workshop. Workshops include theoretical input from faculty with ample opportunity for participants to discuss and share thoughts, ideas and experiences, making for a rich learning experience. The learning is supplemented by observed coach practice and feedback. A further component of the programme is the ‘experiential group’ – a unique environment where participants practice the challenging art of relating authentically with one another, through a coaching lens.
The diploma programme is demanding and participants should be free of other responsibilities on the days of the workshops. 100% attendance is required.
We would encourage you to check the module dates listed on the overview page to ensure your availability. If you do miss a module due to unexpected circumstances, there is no longer an option to take that module with another intake of the programme. You will be required to complete an additional assignment as well as the module assignment. Full details on the module assignment as well as the additional assignment will be shared with the participant.
