More about the course...
Coaching is a partnership that capitalizes on an individual’s existing strengths and increases their understanding of personal impact to maximize the potential in themselves and others. The coaching relationship fosters the development of new skills and awareness that will make individuals more effective in work and in life. Coaching can be formal and highly structured or an informal dialogue, and the skills can be used in diverse settings, including resident services, leadership, and management. In this course we will learn about and practice the core principles of transformative coaching to help people move forward in a variety of situations while furthering equity. Join our Coaching for Transformation course and embark on a journey to become a more effective and inspiring coach. This course is designed to equip you with the tools and techniques needed to drive meaningful change in your clients' lives.
