About the Course

Coaching conversations are a very powerful method to support others through the challenges and complexities of change in their organizations. Coaching brings out the wisdom, understanding and commitment of others to take actions and learn at the same time.  In this course, gain practical guidelines and tools to consider how and when to use coaching conversations to generate motivation, momentum and learning for yourself and others.

This course does not equip learners to be certified in the field of personal and professional coaching.  That level of competence comes from extensive experience, feedback and learning.

This course can be completed as a stand-alone or as part of the Certificate-Series Authentic Engagement with Clients.
