CEL coaching
Our coaching programmes are based on Professor Gerard Egan's internationally successful change model, Model B. They make clear connections between the coach, coachee and organisation, ensuring that individuals apply these skills to real issues in their organisation. The programmes develop the coaching skills required to be an effective coach whilst improving individuals' self awareness and their awareness of others.
Who is it for?
CEL's Coaching Programme is designed to develop the coaching skills of senior leaders and managers in the public, private and voluntary sectors.
- Open enrolment programmes are for individuals or groups wishing to learn the coaching process and develop key skills
- Bespoke programmes can be designed to meet the particular needs of people from the same organisation, or groups engaged in a common enterprise

Reviews
"Staff are used to being told what to do, so for the coaching approach to spread across the whole school, there’s got to be a change in culture. Being coached has transformed the way I look at things, and I do want to introduce the coaching model throughout the whole school.
"One of the things I’m doing is trying to get all the teachers re-energised about teaching
and learning. I wouldn’t be able to do it without the skills I’ve learned through being coached."

"Coaching is enabling us to work with schools more effectively to enable them to become more self challenging and reflective, building up their own capacity to improve."

"We were able to uncover and question areas previously not recognised or appreciated. This was a fast, extremely focused coaching experience and was very productive in a short timescale."
