Building A Coaching Culture

At the heart of the CoachEd Journey there is a commitment to support those in the business of education (in and beyond schools) to build capacity through a coaching culture. Whilst high quality 1:1 coaching is one of the key enablers to this, building support and challenge conversations for everyone in your team(s) with a coaching stance, remains key to developing this culture and building the greatest level of trust, capacity and agency.

I have seen time and time again professionals with one or multiple degrees (including PhD's) avoid any recognition or taking any credit for their coaching skills because they haven't received any formal accreditation for it. You DO NOT need a qualification to coach someone and you definitely don't need any qualifications to support someone by taking a coaching stance as you work together.

The BUILD programme supports middle and senior leaders to understand who their teams are and map out how they might start to build and then embed a coaching culture in their team(s).

It would be expected that this would take months rather than weeks but the amount of contact time between us would be for as long as you felt was helpful after the four core sessions had concluded.

Each session within the core programme would be upto 50 minutes long, after your free connect session.

This short programme of learning and reflection is designed to last between 2-4 weeks, over the four sessions, to enable the coachee time to both access the learning and reflection and return to their team, which informs the subsequent session(s)

Total cost of four BUILD sessions - £145.00

Subsequent sessions are built into a plan that best works for the coachee, as requested by the coachee.

1. Map out the team

What characteristics make up your team and what has your experience been of change leadership with them thus far? We will start to unpick some of the experiences of both you and your team in relation to coaching. Through this we can begin to map out which areas might be more difficult or easier than others in this latest change process.

2. Develop the rational

As leaders we can very often make the change process more seamless when we clearly articulate the rationale for the change. Even if leading a very receptive and trusted team, its crucial that we develop a clear rationale for why a coaching culture is important in what we are working to achieve together.

3. Model the coaching stance

This is a highly practical session were we will begin to consider how you can support your team to take a coaching stance with each other. We will choose a particular focus of your change leadership landscape and consider careful how you can provide very applicable/practical tools that will help you and your team.

4. Change Cycle 1 Review

The final session makes space to pause and consider the very early stages of a review for how progress has been made; what went as well or better, or worse that expected? Which tools have been most useful and why? We will also understand and set out your commitment to what are the immediate next steps that you are planning to take as you continue to build a coaching culture in your team(s)

Get in Touch

Making contact never commits you to anything. Most people have lots of questions as they build an understanding of the service that can be provided or even more simply 'what is coaching and how can it help me and my team?'. Have the courage to find out more.
