what is coaching for leadership?

When asked about the attributes of their ideal manager, most people describe a coach: someone who establishes clear roles and boundaries, invests time in developing their potential, has high standards, cares about people as much as the ‘work’, acts with integrity, and trusts them to ‘get on with the work’ without interfering in details.


Rather than the leader as expert who controls and commands, the leader who coaches develops others, enables innovation and shares responsibility.


Coaching is not just useful for line-managers, it’s a powerful skillset and approach within any leader’s toolbox. It helps us form equitable, productive, collaborative and effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders as well as to motivate ourselves to enable our best performance.

a unique, fully accredited and inclusive leadership training programme

Designed for people who want to use coaching in leadership, rather than to become coaches and delivered by tutors with coaching and leadership expertise.


Much as we love online coaching, we believe coaching training is best in-person – allowing for more 1-2-1 feedback from tutors, an immersive training-style and opportunities to connect with your cohort of peers.


Accredited by the UK’s leading professional body.


All materials are designed to be inclusive as standard.


We also cover inclusive coaching as part of the core course, focussing on neurodiversity coaching (led by a ND-coach/ tutor and specialist).
