About the facilitator/s 

The Building a Coaching Culture programme will be facilitated by the 3D Coaching team: 

3D Coaching has been delivering coaching skills training since 2003. All our trainers are working coaches and we teach you the least you need to know to be able to coach well. 

In 2020, the material drawn on to support the delivery of this programme was published by McGraw Hill as ‘Simplifying Coaching’ and is recognised around the world as a core text for coaching at work and coaching professionals. 

What previous participants say 

“It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing thing. It’s an incremental approach and [you] can start to introduce the coaching approach into your conversations in lots of different ways. And it doesn’t have to be that that whole conversation is a coaching one, but that you are using elements of what we are learning. It’s part of our toolkit now and making us think differently about how we might have some of our conversations.”  

“This course seemed unique in its focus on simplicity and practice, with regular feedback – instead of coming out of it thinking with practice this will be really useful, but then forgetting to practice to embed it. I am already using it and it is becoming second nature to me.” 

“Definitely do less. To achieve more. Because it doesn’t make you a worse manager. It actually makes you a better manager” 

Listen to how physio Ben Jeeves is using a coaching style in his work with patients.

Coaching CPD – Express Coaching

About the session:  

This will explore Express Coaching from the perspective of the coach:  building an understanding of how to be impactful as a coach in a time-limited, outcome focused coaching session. 

Calibrating your practice to supporting a coachee in potentially one standalone session can be challenging.  Overcoming some of the potential barriers, natural preference and indeed bias to practicing in longer term coaching relationships will be key. We will explore the practicalities of contracting effectively to build rapport and trust quickly and then practice in an agile way along the spectrum of coaching to best meet the needs of the coachee. 

The session will build upon your current knowledge and experience whilst revisiting coaching models, tools and techniques to build confidence in your practice in a short-term coaching relationship. You can expect a highly interactive session with plenty of opportunity to practice your coaching skills. 

This workshop will: 

  • Allow coaches to develop skills to create psychological safety and build trust quickly with their coachee  
  • Provide participants with access to coaching models available to help coach in a swift but person-centred & agile approach 
  • Support coaches to confidently contract, undertake goal setting and manage the relationship within the boundaries of the coaching contract within a single session, or contract for up to 3 sessions 
  • Provide coaches with the opportunity to experience, and practice delivering an express coaching session  

Who is this session for? 

This CPD opportunity is intended to support the skillset of all practising coaches regardless of level of accreditation of experience.  

Your Commitment: 

Express Coaching relationships will be included in your current commitment to coaching hours.  We are looking for willingness to providing at least 3 – 6,  45-minute sessions per year (these may be one offs, or, up to 3 sessions with one coachee) 

The session will be delivered virtually on Microsoft Teams
