Build coaching capability in-house

External coaches shouldn't be the only people who can get good thinking happening.

There's a strong case for building coaching skill inside an organisation. It can reach more people, make better conversations part of everyday work and reduce long-term reliance on external support.

But training people to coach is only one part of the job.

Good internal coaching needs a proper set-up

  • A clear reason for the investment.
  • The right people selected and trained.
  • Good matching and contracting.
  • Confidentiality that people understand and trust.
  • Sponsors and line managers who know their role.
  • Supervision and ongoing development.
  • Measures that go beyond attendance and satisfaction.
  • A connection to the organisation’s priorities and people strategy.
 

How we can help

Ali brings deep experience in coaching, coach development, mentoring and supervision. Karen brings the organisational and people-strategy view. Together, we can help with:

  • Coaching skills for leaders and managers.
  • Accredited or non-accredited internal coach development.
  • Internal coaching frameworks, governance and matching.
  • Coach supervision and communities of practice.
  • Sponsor and line-manager preparation.
  • Evaluation and the link between coaching goals and business priorities.

A note on independence

Our aim is not to train you and keep you dependent on us forever.  We want the organisation to be able to run good coaching well, know when it's the right tool and know when something else is needed.
