“I found the Coach Training Programme so interesting.  In the past I would have mentored people but coaching is entirely different.  Coaching helps people come up with their own solutions generating more interest and commitment to the tasks at hand and more willingness to take responsibility for their role.  In my current role I am finding that coaching really does make a big difference to results and to the bottom line, and to helping people feel empowered in their roles.

During the Coach Training Course I received continuous feedback on my coaching skills and approach from the tutor, my peers and my pro-bono clients.  This really helped me to develop my skills and to become a better coach.

The course reveals a different way of developing and managing people.  At a personal level I learnt a lot about myself – how to overcome obstacles and deal with self-sabotaging doubts, allowing me to press on to the goals I want to achieve, and it certainly improved how I communicate and manage people.

This Coach Training Programme really promotes the importance of Learning and Development within organisations that want to succeed.”

“I would rate this Coach Training Programme as being excellent.  I found the practical elements of the course very useful i.e. pro-bono coaching, peer coaching, feedback, peer mentoring and support and the written feedback given by Grainne on the assignments, very helpful.

Grainne is a good communicator and very knowledgeable about the subjects being taught.  She was very supportive throughout the training programme.

I learnt the skills of coaching through theory and practice, which was infused with a psychological orientation.              I would be very happy to recommend this Coach Training Programme.”

P. O’Connell – Templeogue College

“I would rate the course as excellent as there is good coverage of theory and development of a coaching toolkit, combined with time and space for coaching practice.

The pro-bono coaching and peer group coaching with feedback from the supervisor was helpful.  Grainne has a broad knowledge of coaching theory, strong coaching experience and she gives you incisive feedback.  The skills needed to coach were taught very well.”

P. Egan – Sage Ireland

“I enjoyed a wonderful personal and professional learning journey from start to finish.  I gained a full understanding of the skills, tools and techniques needed to coach successfully.  Working with pro-bono clients was especially rewarding and a great way to put the theory into practice.

There was clear and concise instruction of theory and practice in class, with feedback.

Grainne was accessible and supportive throughout and had very good rapport with the class.  I would be very happy to recommend this Coach Training Programme.”
