This online course explores the role of psychological and emotional factors within the coaching process. During executive coaching programmes, coaches are often engaged in triangular relationships – not only with the individual client, but also with stakeholders from the sponsoring organisation. This course explores the coach’s inter-personal and relationship management skills that enable effective coaching to take place. Drawing upon psychological approaches that are informing executive coaching practice, students will explore coaching’s role in enabling change, growth and development with clients. It also provides students with the opportunity to practice their coaching skills and be coached upon issues that are pertinent to them.
