Developing Accredited Internal Coaches

At UCL we offer internal coaching as integral part of our development provision for staff. We currently have a number of trained UCL staff from across the institution that form a group of internal coaches, helping them think through their options in relation to a range of situations they may be encountering in the workplace.

The Developing Accredited Internal Coaches Programme aims to increase our number of internal coaches through offering 12 UCL staff an opportunity to receive a comprehensive programme of development and become one of our UCL internal coaches.

Participants:

Applications are welcome from employees from all staff groups. Following completion of the programme you will be able to undertake some additional development to qualify as an Accredited Coach.

The Programme will help you to:

further develop your skills to be able to build rapport, be a great listener and to coach people with a range of working styles.
further develop your ability to demonstrate credible and effective networking and to coach within your current role.
explore the role of coaching in support of UCL's values
