Leadership Coaching

Coaching with business professionals in the corporate and nonprofit setting can be a unique and rewarding experience. Both require a coach to do the hard work of understanding the context of the business’ culture and how coaching will enhance both the leaders and the organizations they serve. This class is designed for coaches who want to further understand the nature and application of leadership coaching.

This interactive course focuses on coach skill development and includes coaching demonstrations with built-in time to practice leadership coaching. Coaching tools, resources and current trends are also discussed. We also address the crucial topics of growing your coaching business, increasing your coaching confidence, and creating coaching proposals for client-companies.

Another benefit of this course is that the final project is the submission of a “Draft Request for Proposal” (RFP). This provides the opportunity to develop, present, and receive detailed feedback on a future leadership client proposal. Many former students agree, this is the best part of the course.
