Our Work
Coaching for Leadership and Professional Development
We are pleased to announce that the next Coaching course begins in 2009 and spans 4 x 2-day modules (Thursdays / Fridays):
15 - 16 January
5 - 6 March
16 - 17 April
21 - 22 May
The Tavistock Institute trains coaches with an approach that is underpinned by theories and models of real substance yet is eclectic and fluid enough to address the wide range of issues that confront the senior manager. Drawing on cultural, organisational and psychodynamic perspectives, the course moves beyond the application of simple models and methodologies. The emphasis is on the construction of relationships with clients and their organisations.
Participants may be:
- Independent or external coaches;
- Senior professionals or consultants in specialist fields, i.e. finance, law, medicine, commerce who need to develop interpersonal skills;
- Senior managers in operational or developmental positions who are responsible for developing their staff and colleagues.
Participants benefit from active exchange with course members and faculty at both practical and conceptual levels. Comments from previous participants include ‘it really raised my game’ and ‘an immensely rewarding experience…gave me the confidence to develop my own business’.
The course is residential with a maximum number of 12 participants from the UK and internationally.
The course will be co-directed by Karen Izod MA (AOC) and Jim Mackay PhD., C.Psychol. Both are highly experienced coaches and educators who work with a diverse range of coaching clients.
