Group Coaching: Chairs or CEOs elect to join a programme of group coaching benefiting from the tools and techniques of coaching. This also results in cross fertilisation of ideas, approaches and learning.
Coach the Coaches: the introduction of a cascade method of ‘internal coaching’ whereby Chairs and or CEOs themselves become coaches and help spread the coaching ethos throughout their organisation.
Supervision for Coaches: on this framework and for internal coaches, thus providing support, performance monitoring and ethical challenge thereby upholding the standards and competence of coaches.
