The Professional Coaching Practice course encourages participants to take seriously the conversations that take place in the workplace. The course takes a relational approach to coaching and mentoring that emphasises the broader skills of a helping conversation rather than one specific model of coaching. A range of coaching theories and models are introduced to support and enhance these skills. The course consists of six taught units, plus additional sessions for tutorials, assignment support and coaching practice.
