Integrate Certified Coaching Skills into Your Leadership Practice
As challenges, demands and expectations rise in educational contexts, academic managers are expected to perform at ever higher standards. To meet this demand, I’m developing a practical training programme based on the eight core competencies of professionally certified coaching (ICF).
This programme focuses on applying coaching skills directly to school leadership and academic management contexts—including those in ELT—so you can lead more confidently, more collaboratively, and more non-directively when the situation calls for it.
You’ll learn how to:
- Listen deeply and ask powerful question
- Offer feedback that builds trust and ownership
- Navigate complexity and conflict with clarity
- Empower staff through autonomy and agency
- Create accountability without micromanaging
- Develop reflective practice across your centre
