Coaching for Positive Change is a co-creative process for human transformation. Through collaborative inquiry, dialogue and reflection, it enables people to integrate the best of their past with their strengths, values, and visions; and to bring forth positively powerful performance and results. Master appreciative coaches are catalysts, curators and witnesses to their clients’ identity creation and recreation.David Reed
What is Coaching, what is it not? And therefore what is Executive Coaching. This article helps define both What is Coaching (and what is it not) and the differences with Executive Coaching.

This programme is designed for people who want to benefit from a high quality, interactive, and experiential training in coaching skills, delivered through webinars. Coaching Development has a worldwide presence as a training institution, and has been training professional coaches and managers since 2003. THIS PROGRAM, delivering 83 learning hours, will equip you with the training hours to take the International Coach Federation’s (ICF) entry level exam, the Associate Certified Coach (ACC). The programme consists of a thorough immersion in the ICF’s core competencies, the structures and processes of coaching conversations and an ethical approach to this type of developmental work. The learning is primarily experiential, and is supported by reading, reflecting and blogging. In between the taught days you will be engaging in coaching conversations which will enable you to consolidate and deepen your coaching ability. The 83 learning hours consists of: 49 hours of synchronous (real time) learning, comprising 7 days spread over 4-5 months. Each day comprises 7 hours of learning. 24 hours of inter-modular coaching practice – 12 hours as coach and 12 hours as coachee. A minimum of 10 hours of other learning: reading a coaching book, keeping a reflective journal of your learnings about coaching and yourself on your coaching journey, blogging, etc. 64 hours of the 83 learning hours have been accredited by the ICF as a complete ACSTH programme. Course approach to learning The didactic part of The Coach Practitioner will provide you with a robust foundation in coaching theory and approaches. Coaching Development’s philosophy is that the best learning happens when we can apply what we are learning to ourselves as well as to others. Thus you will have many opportunities to reflect on yourself, how you be in the world and how you can use these theories when coaching others. Through a combination of theoretical input and experiential work, with extensive practice, observations of your coaching and regular formal feedback from your observer, you will develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills required of a competent, ethical practitioner of coaching. Practice and development You will practise and receive feedback on your coaching each day, and twice receive formal verbal feedback from a qualified observer. Between days 3 and 7 you will submit three recordings of your coaching and receive three written pieces of feedback on your use of the PCC level coaching skills. This feedback focuses on current strengths and offers pathways for future development. Topics Day 1: First steps - connecting, definitions and distinctions, co-designing goals, active listening, questioning, introduction to ICF core competencies.
