Key Benefits

Accessible world wide on-line

No matter where they are located, your managers can be trained without leaving their office. That means a consistent approach to these coaching skills, no matter where they work.

Cost Effective

No flights, no accommodation, no costly time away from the business. That’s a big saving for you.

Time effective

Managers watch the weekly coaching lectures and coach their staff in their own time. They must however, commit to attend their live on-line management training and development tutorials each week as they would any 1 hour meeting.

Accountability Partner trained for free

Management staff can choose to allocate an Accountability Partner to go through the entire training and development course on coaching techniques with them for free. This means that your company gets two effective managers trained in coaching techniques for the price of one. That’s remarkable value. The AP has identical access to the manager. Their job is to keep the manager motivated when things get busy and provide an onsite sounding board to discuss ideas.

Executive Coaches with business credibility

We know the challenges you face. We’ve worked to create effective managers and develop managers’ skills in the private and public sector and can help you through your real life coaching situations.

Live Tutorials

You get live help with your management development challenges each week from a professional Executive coach who wants to see you succeed and can model the effective coaching behaviour for you to be successful managers, and give you insight and different perspectives on your training and management style.

Public Courses

Public Coach Training Courses begin every few months and attract management staff from a variety of organizations, industrials and professions. This means that you will be sharing your coaching experiences with other managers and learning from their business experiences as well. This sharing across different professions brings forth a wealth of effective learning for everyone.

Private Courses for groups of 10 or more

If your company pays for 10 managers to go through the management coaching training together over 6 weeks, we’ll provide you with a Private Course that includes your own dedicated Faculty Coach, and private group tutorials.
