How is the course delivered?

The programme is designed to run over 5 months with a reflection break over the summer.

There will be four key components to the programme:

• Group calls will include a multi-dimensional coaching approach including NLP, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Appreciative Enquiry techniques tailored to the needs of the delegates. Delegates will additionally benefit from peer-to-peer support, accountability, knowledge sharing, spotlight coaching, masterminding and Q&A opportunities during the group calls.
• Self-reflection - greatest transformation comes from self-reflection and developing a deep understanding and appreciation of self. Journalling, questioning techniques and reflection activities will all be used so that delegates can gain helpful personal insights. Self awareness and understanding transcends out to build a deeper understanding and empathy for other people, enabling stronger connections and influence to be built.
• Teaching and online learning - knowledge and insights on behavioural conditioning, habit and belief formation will be shared to help delegates understand themselves better and learn how to become more confident, empowered and resilient.
• Practical exercises and challenges will be set to increase delegates self-awareness, confidence, self-esteem and resilience, as well as enable them to unlock limiting beliefs so they can feel more empowered at work, at home and in their relationships.

In addition, should the cohort of delegates wish, a buddy system could also be organised for further accountability and support throughout the programme.
