Unleash Your Inner Coach

Coaching is a powerful tool for the professional and personal development of individuals and teams. Mastering this skill will enable you to successfully assume the role of leader-coach, inspiring and propelling your teams toward excellence.

In a study cited by the Harvard Business Review, 3,761 executives assessed their own coaching skills, and then their assessments were compared with those of people who worked with them. The results did not match: 24% of executives overestimated their abilities, rating themselves as above average while their colleagues ranked them in the bottom third of the group. “If you think you’re a good coach but you actually aren’t,” the authors of the study wrote, “this data suggests you may be a good deal worse than you imagined.”

Our microprogram will immerse you in enriching group coaching experiences.

They will help you develop complementary skills in collaborative workshops specifically designed to explore different facets of coaching.

Our learning approach promotes both autonomy and practice while providing opportunities for discussion with peers from various industries. You will be able to enhance your learning by listening to the accounts and experiences of other professionals.

This will strengthen your management skills and unleash your coaching potential for the benefit of your organization.
