Coaching for Improvement
Coaching programmes invariably receive fantastic participant feedback. The tools and processes coaching provide can be incredibly empowering for coach and coachee. However, there is a body of evidence which suggests that, 12 months after their initial programme, the vast majority of people who give such positive feedback are not utilizing their skills within their organization. The Enquire coaching model is focused not just on developing the skills and technique of coaching but upon sustaining them and making a difference, challenging participants to ask the question:
How will coaching be located in the strategic work of our organization so that it makes a difference to practice and provision?
Peer coaching is a powerful learning tool that enables colleagues to work together to build their expertise and capacity. It creates space and provides a process for:
- Observation of colleagues at work
- Reflection on practice
- Powerful and effective feedback
- Disciplined dialogue
Most importantly, peer coaching makes a difference to performance at work.
The enquire peer coaching model is built upon an in-depth understanding of how schools really work. We have created and extensively tested a range of tools that make a tangible difference to professionals’ work.
The Enquire coaching programme is focused upon your improvement issues. It is designed to build the essential skills of coaching and enable colleagues to hone their skills while addressing real work priorities. It creates the imperative of action and helps staff to be skilled and adaptable coaches.
“All our staff have become skilled coaches by working with Enquire. The process is outstanding and helps people become confident and effective in their leadership across the school. It has definitely made a difference to the work we do.”
