Advanced Practitioner Diploma
Overview:
Advanced Practitioner Diploma: Beijing
A challenging programme delivered over 12-15 months that will transform experienced coaches into exceptional executive coaches.
Your Experience
The programme requires substantial knowledge and experience of developing people either as a:
- business leader or senior manager
with a coaching style - consultant or trainer
- life or business coach
In addition you will be required to have four coach specific clients by the start of the programme, building up to six by the second module.
You will also be in tune with our core values, and while you are experienced in your field, you will be open to learning from any source rather than simply attending a course for a coach qualification.
Programme objectives
- create your own coaching model
- be explicit about your own style and approach
- have a strong ‘signature presence’
- attain the skill to work at a performance and developmental level
Programme benefits
- coach competently with leaders and executives within an organisational context.
- target the type of clients / business you work best with
- ensure you get the results you contract for
- feel confident to coach at a rational and intuitive level
Self responsibility and co-directed learning
There is no freedom without responsibility – a wonderful paradox which sums up the essence of co-directed learning.
You have the freedom to choose the optimum path of learning, but have to take considerable responsibility for negotiating and creating that reality with others.
This mirrors the trend that 21st century organisations are having to grapple with if they are to survive in the complexity of a rapidly changing world.
Personal coaching on the programme
Each participant will be a client and have the opportunity to address their real personal development issues.
You will have the same coach for the duration of the programme, who will coach you on each event and your progress.
A peer observer will take notes and give feedback both to the client and the coach.
Systemic approach
Coaching always happens in a context, so understanding the web of relationships and patterns of influence in the organisational system, will give you an insight into how to address the more confusing and complex client issues.
Large group work
In order to appreciate fully the interconnectedness of individuals within a system, we will be studying our own development as a small organisation.
We will be alternatively in our system and observing or analysing it. This is a hugely complex and often confusing process, but with skilled guidance from the tutor team, this becomes a very enriching and insightful experience.
The lessons learnt in the large group will be constantly transferred into the business coaching environment.
