The brief was to design and deliver four fully bespoke Advanced Coaching Skills modules that would deepen coaching capability for leaders. We ran a series of Discovery Workshops with the People Development Team at OVO to ensure we were hitting all the right notes. From these half day workshops we were able to create first drafts of the four modules which highlight best in class coaching tools. We focused on the tools we personally use in our own coaching practices. The final modules were: The Awareness Gap Career Development Decision Making Coaching for Confidence
