Engeza Organisational & Business Coaching Programme

What Is Business Or Organisational Coaching?

Also called leadership coaching, business/organisation coaching is a future-focused, positive and energetic engagement aimed at supporting a leader or manager in achieving their vision, in alignment with their values and business objectives. The organisational voice is part of the process, as organisational coaching brings together the executive or manager and the organisation in identifying growth and development objectives.

The Learning Approach

Online, bi-monthly (fortnightly) webinars, over a six month period, led by faculty.

The webinars run from 16h30 to 20h00 on alternative Wednesdays, minimising the disruption to your schedules.

Programme Overview

The Engeza programme is aimed at new and aspiring coaches who want to add to their current skill set by acquiring knowledge and understanding of coaching within an organisation.

Organisational and Business Coaching requires an understanding of how businesses and organisations function, from NPOs to corporates. In this context, coaching refers to an individual’s growth and development aligned with their business or organisation’s strategic objectives as well as the objectives for the client.

THE CURRICULUM

Programme Structure and learning experience

The ICF accredited programme is limited to twelve participants. It has been designed by psychologists for new and aspiring coaches to confidently and skilfully step into coaching within organisations or do life coaching. It builds foundational knowledge around coaching theories, develops competence in ICF coaching competencies, and provides practical exposure to coaching within organisational and business systems. Extensive opportunity to practise coaching and be observed by ICF-credentialed observers is key to the learning process.

The programme is limited to twelve participants, to intensify the experiential nature of the learning, allow for maximum participation and to support the building of strong networks of like-minded fellow professionals. The programme is delivered in English.

Twelve bi-weekly webinars (every second week) over a six-month period
Self-study: Reading, video materials, ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics, Reflection and study validation
