3 Course outline The Executive Coaching course uses different learning techniques to develop your in depth coaching skills including: skills practice, experiential exercises, facilitated role-play, theory presentations, supervised coaching practice, coaching syndicate groups, video analysis and reflective plenary sessions. Participants submit reflections on their experience following each two day block. They receive detailed feedback on these from staff, in order to further develop their reflective capacity. Participants develop their own coaching practice under group and individual supervision. They keep a reflective log of their coaching development and learning from the programme. The five modules cover the following: Defining the task of coaching and its boundaries Understanding and developing oneself as an effective coach Practising in depth coaching skills Developing the coaching relationship with clients The impact of coaching on the client s organisation Linking coaching to the wider business and professional environment Professional development and ethical practice Why study with us? We use a systems psychodynamic approach to coaching. This method of executive coaching helps to uncover what s really going on for clients, rather than just what is presented. It allows coaches to work at depth and using emotional data to tackle the hard to reach issues that sometimes limit the performance of leaders, teams and organisations. Graduates of the Executive Coaching programme can expect to become significantly more confident to work at a deeper level with coaching clients. This enables the client and their system to understand root causes and change in a way that can be sustained, and results in better relationships, clearer goals and effective action. Assessment Assessment takes the form of seven short (1,000-1,500 words) and one long (3,000 words) case study, which are assessed by course staff and verified by an external examiner.

6 What students say "When I decided to qualify as an executive coach, I immediately knew that I wanted to train at Tavistock Consulting. Over the years in my role as an HR Director I had got to know more about their approach having received executive coaching myself and having commissioned a piece of consultancy work from Tavistock Consulting. What differentiates them is a focus on what lies beneath the surface - what is really driving feelings and behaviours in organisations. The training programme is robust and strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice. I now feel very well equipped to progress my career as a coach." Head of HR & Executive Coach (2014/15) "When the executive coaching course pops into mind, a smile comes to my mind. I love it: I think the group works well and is forming a nice cohesive and empathic whole. The slowbut-deep teaching style and the complementary approaches of the two teachers works well for me. I like the balance of theory and experience, a cycle of thinking- reflectingdoing-reflecting and I like it too because, so far at least, even when I m in the hot-seat, I ve felt safe. This is not an easy environment to create, but when it is created, it really fosters learning and higher levels of motivation. Director of Management Consultancy practice (2013/14) Looking back, I do think this is an excellent programme and for me, absolutely essential to bring to fruition my previous learnings. The Executive Coaching programme has really enabled me to integrate what I previously learned at the Tavistock into my practice. I would recommend it strongly to anyone who wants to apply systemic psychodynamic thinking to coaching and consultancy. Emeritus Professor of Management University College Cork, Ireland (2012/13) Partners The external examiner for the course is Erik de Haan (Director at Centre for Coaching at Ashridge Business School). The external examiner marks a final portfolio of student work. On Module 2 he also provides an overview of other schools of coaching to participants. Other study locations This course and qualification can be commissioned as a bespoke course to take place inside a client organisation/ HR department.
