Operational Coaching® Practitioner

A 'must have' course for all Managers' development plans

Organisations that have a coaching culture are shown to have more engaged employees and higher levels of team and individual performance. One of the ways to support this is through the up-skilling of leaders and managers to have coaching skills to help leverage and develop their team.

Our highly participative 'Operational Coaching® Practitioner' (OCP®) programme is designed specifically to train your Managers to adopt coaching behaviours enabling them to have highly effective conversations ‘in the moment’ and ‘on the job’.

The aim is to bring about a sustainable change in behaviour for your Managers - improving their all-around communication and their people engagement skills, embedding more of an ‘enquiry-led’ style of leadership so that it becomes a part of their every-day management style.

Note; this programme is also available as an 'open' programme for senior leaders. Click here to learn more about the open programme

“My manager told me that this course would change me in a positive way. She was right. It has left me with a renewed sense of confidence. I now have the coaching tools that will help me become a better manager - the real winners will be my team and the customers of National Express.”

"This was a course I didn’t think would be very beneficial for me to attend. However this has probably been the best course I have EVER attended! The content along with the Tutor was fantastic. I really will use many points that I have learnt in my store.”
