Varied and Experiential Learning
Our courses combine a comprehensive and inspiring mix of teaching, discussion, peer learning, independent practice, personal study, reflection, feedback and assessment.
No-one knows what the future of work will look like, but from start-ups to multinationals, a sizeable part of the workforce are now working flexibly with those we coach moving flexibly between virtual, rural, urban and mobile spaces.
We believe that understanding the impact these different contexts has on coaching conversations matters. We see it in the issues clients bring to sessions and how and where coaches work. Wise Goose is committed to doing what we can to prepare you for coaching in these changing worlds and with this in mind we developed an innovative hybrid structure for our programme with students on our Advanced Programme attending roughly a third of training days in London, another third in Devon and another third online.
This non-residential format has been very well received by students, they say it has helped them to broaden networks, become more aware, confident and fluent in articulating the differences, qualities and opportunities of coaching in different places.
We can also tailor courses to your own organisations unique needs.
