Diploma in Leadership Mentoring and Executive Coaching (Level 7)

ILM The Diploma in Leadership Mentoring and Executive Coaching is aimed at CEOs, directors, senior operational and HR managers who want to develop more effective leadership within their organisation.

Mentoring and coaching can be powerful methods for developing leadership capability but only if the individuals acting as mentors and coaches possess the knowledge, skills and personal qualities required to operate at this level.

As a result of completing this diploma, you will be better able to act as a mentor or executive coach for senior managers and others wishing to become more effective leaders.

We are currently accepting bookings for the programme which commences on the 13th November, 2006.

Features

• 6 separate one-day workshops (non-residential) spread over a 9 month period.

• 3 separate 1:1 support/ coaching sessions with the tutor (each session lasting up to 4 hours).

• Several mini projects and the compilation of a reflective ‘coaching diary’

• Coaching practice within the workplace

On top of this, we also offer…

• A confidential helpline to the tutor throughout the duration of the programme

• A celebratory dinner/overnight stay at the end of the programme

• A wide variety of materials to support your development, e.g. books, reference points, articles, etc.

• Quintax® personality profiling with feedback and narrative report.

Expected Outcomes

As a result of completing the programme, participants will:

• Learn to use advanced coaching and mentoring skills to release more potential and build greater capacity in their organisation (we work on the principle of ‘helping people to help themselves’)

• Initiate and drive change within their organisation at a faster pace

• Identify how to develop leadership capability in today's workplace

• Develop a more supportive culture of performance-based discussion within their organisation

• Take time out and find personal space in which to step back from problems and find practical solutions

Upon successful completion of the programme, and following submission of a portfolio of evidence (including a practical work-based assignment) participants will be entered for the ILM level 7 Diploma in Leadership Mentoring and Executive Coaching. Participants will also be eligible to apply for full membership of the Institute (MInstLM).

Approach

The programme is highly participative with much emphasis upon learning by doing. You will be offered a wide range of tips/techniques, theories and frameworks to stimulate your learning. Your personal commitment must be to open your mind, try new things and be prepared to try again if you don’t succeed first time round.

Participants will share experiences and benefit from networking and peer support in addition to personal tutor support. We use 'real play' not role play - participants bring real life challenges with them and find solutions to them during the programme, using the skills and knowledge gained and shared. You will also have fun and learn in a high energy environment!

The cost of the diploma is £2,350.00 + VAT per participant (payable upon booking).

NB. This programme is offered in an ‘open’ format, with participants from a variety of organisations attending.
It can also be tailored and run ‘in house’ if required.
