The coach for the topic - Kris was really good, she provided insights into practicality of the models. Also the content had different variety of models - which was very useful.
I have really valued my experience with The Coaching Academy. The training has given me much more than coaching models and theory — the live sessions, practical exercises, breakout discussions and opportunities to practise have helped me develop confidence in how I actually coach. I particularly appreciate that the training continually brings the focus back to listening, rapport, powerful questioning, self-awareness and allowing the client to find their own answers rather than trying to fix things for them. My final live session on DISC Personality Profiling was another excellent example of this. It gave me a practical way of understanding different behavioural and communication preferences and how I can adapt my coaching approach to the individual without putting people into boxes. I am finishing the live training feeling far more aware of myself as a coach, where I still want to develop, and the kind of coach I want to become. The tutors have created a supportive learning environment while still encouraging us to challenge ourselves and grow. It has been a meaningful and worthwhile learning experience, and I would recommend the programme to anyone who is serious about developing real coaching skills.
Very inspiring delivery- Full of practical information and sound training
The training session was engaging. Use of video references provided realistic examples of the different personalities. The addition of break out rooms gave us an opportunity to interact with other participants.
The Coaching Academy are fantastic course providers. I have had a really positive experience and have felt very supported throughout my time with them. The coaches, supervisors and mentors are all brilliant and I have learned so much from their valuable feedback.
Enjoyable and informative training
