Introduction to Coaching at Work

Empower conversations. Elevate performance. Transform workplaces.

Introduction to Coaching at Work is a practical course, an entry point to coaching skills for professionals at every level. Coaching is a way of communicating that brings out the best in people, and this course shows you how. Participants learn to strengthen soft skills, set and achieve clear goals, and enhance workplace relationships. Managers can begin integrating coaching into their leadership, while organizations can use the course as a simple, scalable introduction to coaching culture.

Who it's for

• Professionals at all levels wanting to develop coaching skills to improve performance and relationships at work
• Managers and team leaders looking to adopt a coaching style
• Organizations  aiming to build a coaching culture
  

Why it Works

Coaching works because it changes the quality of conversations. Instead of giving advice or micromanaging, you learn how to ask the right questions, build trust, and empower others to find their own solutions.



As Timothy Gallwey wrote, coaching is “the art of creating an environment through conversation that helps people move toward their goals in a fulfilling way.”

For HR Leaders and Decision Makers

If you’re responsible for learning and development in your organization, this course is an easy and effective way to ensure that managers and staff at all levels gain foundational coaching skills. It serves as a practical introduction to coaching that can be rolled out quickly and widely.

Many organizations invest in training managers to coach, only to find that the skills are hard to apply — because employees don’t understand what coaching really is.  This course bridges that gap.

By familiarizing staff at all levels with coaching principles, you make it easier for managers to use their new skills and, over time, embed coaching into the culture of the organization.

Testimonials

The course was a valuable introduction to the science and practice of being a "leader-coach" at work. I walked away with tools I could use immediately as well as an appreciation of the importance of establishing coaching cultures in the health sector - particularly during periods of change and transition. Saba is a masterful teacher and coach. 

From the moment I first approached Saba for help in preparing our group's away-day, I felt reassured that it would be a well-planned and professionally executed event. Saba has an impressive understanding of the issues that underpin effective team dynamics, and a vast experience in identifying the best approaches to identify strengths and focus on solutions, in an energetic and positive way.

The course was an excellent introduction to coaching with simple, practical steps that can be used right away.

It is a new approach to inter-personal communications, based on scientific evidence which strongly contributes to our work. A brilliant course.
