About the Coaching Skills for Managers programme
Programme Content:

Programme Structure:
True North's Coaching Skills for Managers programme is divided into four full-day sessions, scheduled two weeks apart. We've found this timing works best for our clients - managers can schedule the one day sessions into busy diaries over a couple of months. This time frame gives participants room to incorporate what they've learned into their roles, practice new skills, and share their experiences with the other delegates and course coaches.
Clients tell us they find these sessions extremely valuable, giving them a chance to address real-life business issues with experts, and work to resolve them to make real changes.
Study materials are provided prior to the first session and coaching assignments are set between sessions. In addition, delegates are encouraged to ask for help, outside the sessions, with coaching issues as they arise.

Uta Langley will be running the programme in Bristol and Alex Morgan in Reading.
