Crucial skills, quickly learned
This collaborative and deeply practical programme provides leaders at all levels with a proven coaching framework, a toolkit to test in their teams and a safe and supportive space in which to practice, reflect and share impact with peers.
The case and context, for coaching today
A coaching approach is often over-emphasised to managers and leaders at work, and, in the wrong relational situations, it can be counter-productive. Helping managers see coaching in the wider context of other leadership styles available to them is a critical first step. Because, once mastered, it becomes clear that (in the fast-moving, distributed world of work) being able to intentionally flex a coaching mindset becomes a powerful enabler of any other leadership approaches; accelerating relational impact and meeting the development demands of modern team members.
How the programme is delivered
Blended, bitesize and biased to action
Participants join three collaborative and practical live sessions among the same cohort of peers. A safe, experimental and supportive space, led by an accredited coach.
Key to the learning experience is working through bitesize digital-primers, introducing core concepts and missions before and after live sessions.
Learning with and from peers is central to the programme, with participants put in pairs and threes for structured check-ins between sessions.
To support the transfer of learning back into teams, participants are armed with our much loved physical coaching tools, designed to drive powerful conversations.
Accessing the programme
Individual leaders can join cross-organisational groups, building and practising their coaching skills among diverse and supportive peers.
We can work directly with single or multiple cohorts of your leaders — in-person, virtually or hybrid — and adapting content to your cultural cues.
Cohorts are led by our accredited associate coaches, each bringing sector-specific experience alongside an inclusive and action-oriented approach. Pictured clockwise from top-left are YCN associate coaches Raul Aparici, Sarah Naidoo-Banks, Kate Lloyd and Katy Kent.
We partner with leading organisations committed to building performance-cultures with continual learning at their core. Equipping managers with the tools that enable curiosity driven, empathetic approaches to their relationships is central to sustaining these cultures. And these skills can be applied in all kinds of other contexts too — unlocking potential and revealing previously hidden relational riches. A glorious development dividend.
We've cross-organisational cohorts launching throughout the year, and can deliver the core programme content directly to single or multiple cohorts of your leaders; virtually or in-person, anywhere in the world. Drop us a line to learn more about dates, costs and delivery options.
