Hear from the coaches we have trained

I cannot recommend Charlie & team highly enough. I studied for the ILM Level 7 Executive Coaching & Mentoring qualification with them. Charlie is the best trainer I have ever been taught by because he is so knowledgeable and encouraging, with an undaunting, relaxed teaching style. I feel that doing the course with Love Your Coaching has been the making of me as a coach. Not only has it upskilled me, so that I can coach on a greater range of issues, I have been able to use my new coaching knowledge to improve the delivery of training and workshops that I run.

I loved every minute of the experience. Having signed up for quite a technical course to learn specific skills, the most surprising (and insightful) part of the experience for me was the journey of self-awareness. I hadn't expected to learn so much about myself in the process and to see the impact of this newfound insight to have such an impact on all my relationships. Charlie is always calm and non-judgmental and his genuine passion for supporting people to become great coaching is felt throughout.

Charlie recently supported me in obtaining my Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. He is a fantastic coach and trainer and was an incredible support over the last few months. I really valued his input and feedback on my own coaching and more so his coaching of me! His passion for coaching is clear and it’s easy to engage with him thanks to his supportive, guiding and committed approach.

I highly recommend Charlie for anyone in educational leadership wishing to develop their coaching skills. I joined Love Your Coaching’s ILM Level 7 Executive Coaching and Mentoring course and it has transformed my understanding and use of coaching. Proper coaching is underused in educational leadership. As a headteacher I have had the privilege of coaching other headteachers, deputies and aspiring senior leaders. Charlie's training is the perfect mix of theory and practical, plus very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Charlie was a great Course Director whilst I studied for the ILM Level 3 in Coaching. Along with the team, there is a great understanding of individual learning requirements. It was a fun and practical learning environment: lots of scenarios, breakout opportunities, and practice sessions alongside theory and carefully constructed course content. The faculty group with newsletter sharing best practice advice is also really useful – it’s great to be part of the coaching community.

What is coaching?

There are many definitions of coaching. Our favourite one is:

“Supporting someone to make progress on a topic of their choice – either a challenging topic or a positive one. Listening, questioning and challenging, to help them come to their own conclusions and next steps“

Coaching gives you the opportunity to talk through something that is onyour mind with someone who will give you the time, the space, thequestions and the non-judgemental approach so that you can workthrough things. At your own pace. And in your own way.

Make time for coaching

When was the last time that you had a conversation that was 100% focussed on you?

When was the last time someone just listened to you fully, didn’t have their own agenda to follow, or advice to give?

When was the last time that you finished a conversation with a clear plan, a set of actions, a renewed determination?

People who have worked with a coach will answer the above questions with “during my last coaching session!”

Checklist for choosing a coaching qualification

An official qualification, not an in-company one
The qualification body needs to have a good reputation with the public
There are clear guidelines for how training providers need to operate, to ensure professionalism
The course content needs to be not too restrictive or technical - after all, coaching is a practical skill

For all of these reasons, we choose to use for coaching qualifications the Institute of Leadership and Management. They are the biggest providers of qualifications to adult learners, are highly regarded in the workplace, and have rigorous processes. And they let us tailor our courses to the needs of you, the coaches in training.

As well as working with individual coaches, we support organisations who are creating coaching cultures
