In brief:

Organisations that use coaching as a tool to drive development and change show increased employee performance, motivation and productivity, extensive research reveals. To succeed, however, the coaching initiative has to be well supported by the underlying organisational culture. Businesses that create a 'coaching culture' demonstrate that they value their people – and their people’s development within the organisation.

Yet, of the two thirds of organisations that use coaching as part of their learning and development strategy, only half reveal that coaching is linked to overall L&D strategy (CIPD’s latest Learning and Development survey 2009).

With first-class tuition from our expert facilitator, Diane Hodgson, this one-day seminar will provide you with the skills and knowledge to cultivate and promote an environment that delivers increased business performance – and the edge you need to stay ahead of your competition.

This event is CPD accredited.
