Monkton Combe School – management & leadership development

Monkton Combe School: A Coaching Journey

Leadership Development Workshops

“We were looking to invest in a bespoke development programme for the senior strategic heads of our support functions, such as Grounds and Gardens, Maintenance and Domestic services departments.

Clare really took the time to learn and understand about our culture, background and importantly, our aims and objectives of the programme. Clare designed a diverse and business-specific programme. Her honest, flexible and positive delivery style and ability and willingness to adapt and change the content and delivery to meet the needs of the group, was outstanding and really enabled the group to both grow as individuals but also connect as a leadership team.

We would highly recommend Inspired2Learn for any business looking to provide a development programme specific to their own bespoke needs.”

Nikki Lloyd, Human Resources Manager

 

Workshop themes

  • Personal development as a manager and leader
  • Management & leadership theories – situational leadership

  • Building management relationships
  • Mindfulness at work
  • Leading and developing teams
  • Manager as coach
  • Influencing skills
  • Setting goals and vision

“I would just like to say thank you for the training, I found the mindfulness and the coaching extremely interesting & helpful. We have a large team, many whom have complex  objectives and conflicting demands. With the information received today I feel we are better equipped for dealing with this in the future.

Coaching may help with progressing some of our direct reports – instead of us taking on all the issues ourselves,  by asking the right questions they may find their own solutions.

Mindfulness I would really like to explore more of – I find it hard to switch off and I feel my mind is overloaded most of the time and this can prevent me moving forward (and also prevents me from being able to relax away from work). During our session  with you, I honestly cannot remember the last time my head felt that clear and my body to be that relaxed.”

“I found it useful getting to know other heads of department better, sharing knowledge and skills across the whole team. MiRo behavioural styles were very interesting, plus learning different coaching techniques. The p[program was very helpful and opened nmy eyes to many new aspects of management.”

Testimonials

What our customers
say about us...

I am so fired up!

“Loved everything about the training, the group, Clare’s leadership and guidance of the sessions. Have learnt so much and have so many techniques to use now. Compared notes with a colleague who has been doing her training through our organisation and she is gutted! She said they have just flogged GROW to death with no additional techniques to use alongside it! So fired up!!” Sally, February 2020

Exceptional tutor support

I now have massively different skills, knowledge and understanding of coaching, despite years of coaching informally as a leader. Much stronger understanding of coaching at an executive level and understand much more deeply the research behind it. The programme & qualification added value to my school as I will embed leadership coaching in a much more systemic way. I am hoping to coach leaders both within my organisation and across the wider group of leaders in the Multi Academy Trust. Tutor support was exceptional, with honest and direct feedback, clear guidance and modelling of outstanding coaching throughout.

Thank you – the caoching course has has enabled me to support multiple senior leaders

I’m so glad that I chose to do the qualification with yourselves. Thank you for all your support – it has been invaluable. The programme has enabled me to support multiple senior leaders and talented individuals to develop their leadership, which has meant they are leading their teams in a more self-aware way and are replicating my techniques with their teams – extending development so much further into the organisation. I now have the confidence to do small group coaching sessions and integrate my coaching knowledge with my psychology knowledge. It is helping me to coach senior leaders through supporting me in my new role too! In my new role there is a lot of scope for me to use my coaching skills to develop the organisation. The webinars and masterclasses are amazing. They have also shown me what bad examples look like as yours are so good in comparison to what is freely available on the internet. The feedback on assignments was really useful and so were the provision of what a pass and high pass would include and that helped me to get so much more out of the research. I was a bit frightened of the supervision to start with, but it was really useful The book recommendations were great too – they saved me having to trawl through a load of books to find some really great learning and techniques. It would have helped me to have done the assignments first as I found they changed my practice towards the end of the qualification. I would have benefited from assignment deadlines submission dates – even if they were moveable, it would have helped me to finish the assignments earlier. Perhaps that is something that could be agreed with further learners at the start? Overall a totally amazing experience the has totally transformed what I do and how I do it.

Loved every Minute
