Our Coaching Leader Programme premieres in Bahrain!
Bahrain this spring has been the launch ground for the Partnership’s Coaching Leader Programme which has been attracting a lot of attention from organisations across Europe and the Middle East.
Eleven participants, all of senior manager level, from companies in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have taken part in our first leadership and coaching programme. At the conclusion of the programme, successful participants will be awarded with a certificate of professional development in coaching practice from The University of Strathclyde Business School.
Our two facilitators Hazel Valentine (who researched, designed and wrote the CLP) and Richard Dear report very positive responses to the first two modules. These are some of the comments from the participants:
- I wish I had learnt these skills 10 years ago
- When approached by staff with a problem I now hold back and coach them to find their own solution
- My style has always been to direct and tell – now I listen and I find people are more open to share their issues and discuss ideas
The facilitators are absolutely delighted with the reception so far. Between modules the participants are putting their new leadership skills into practice and seeing tangible results in terms of how their staff engage with the business and address the everyday issues that arise.
As part of the overall design each participant benefits from three one-to-one tutorials between modules to help them to unlearn old habits and incorporate new leadership practices.
Our goal is to finish the programme with eleven accredited coaching leaders who will impact on their teams back at work and champion a culture of coaching leadership.

We entitled our 2010 Master Class “Leading from the Front”* as a series of reminders to business leaders – are you really out there setting the direction? Listening? Keeping your finger on the pulse? Being authentic?
In some cases, the answer is obviously ’no‘. Vibrations we've picked up and research we recently read suggest that at the slightest hint of a recovery, 60% of staff will look to move jobs quickly... More here...
Many of our clients appreciate the benefits of a well designed and executed 360° process and a significant majority of our coaching assignments are initiated with a feedback exercise. We apply a strict rigor to all our work involving feedback. This applies to ensuring that clients understand and agree to the principles of how the gathering of feedback is to be done and how the outputs are to be communicated and used. Lack of transparency and the subsequent fall out are potential derailers of any 360° activity, More here...
