Listen to the Future Impact podcast (via Soundcloud) featuring four inspirational women who talk about their coaching journey after undertaking the Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring (ILM Level 7) programme.
Who is it for?
The Level 7 qualification is ideal for senior leaders with significant responsibility for coaching and mentoring as part of their day-to-day role working with employees and colleagues. It is also designed to develop learners planning to move into a senior executive role or to establish and enhance an existing career as a coach or mentor offering coaching and mentoring to people within settings dealing with strategy and senior decision-making.
It is also aimed at those who are offering or wish to offer coaching/mentoring at a high level within organisations or as an external coach or mentor. You will need to have access to complete at least 20 hours of coaching and mentoring in the workplace.
Content
The coaching and mentoring team run the programme with a mixture of theory and skills development and will be taking a number of different experiential approaches in keeping with ideas of adult learning. This will include different approaches such as the arts of building trust, listening, questioning and using positive silence.
Additionally, some time will be spent exploring the more creative link to coaching, for example through the lenses of play and mediating objects.
