Overview
Coaching is an effective tool to develop talent. Good leaders believe in the value of coaching as coaching can significantly enhance employees' problem-solving skills as well as empower managers, business owners and corporate leaders to be guided in considering alternative/additional perspectives in resolving challenges at work. With the right coaching knowledge and skills, leaders can also start to connect and build strong relationships with their teams, keeping them engaged and motivated. Many organizations also look to coaching to improve an individual's performance on the job. When done right with qualified and appropriate coaching, businesses will be able to enhance their performance and increase their stakeholders’ satisfaction. Increasingly, coaching is seen as a must have skill, and not just "good-to-have", when organizations and individuals take a serious view on competence and growth.

Programme Structure
Participants may either attend the full programme or only selected module(s).
Leveraging on SMU’s distinctive pedagogy for interactive, discussion driven and thought provoking seminar-style teaching, we aim to provide our participants with the ability to translate the learning and insights into practice at the workplace. A variety of teaching methods such as experiential learning, role plays, case discussions, presentations, exercises and oral questioning will be employed by the programme’s faculty in the training sessions. There will also be an individual assessment at the end of every module which serve to assess a participant’s understanding of the subject matter.
ICF Credentialing
The program is recognized as accredited training by ICF - the world’s largest organization of professionally trained coaches, based in USA. The first three modules provide the participant with the required number of training hours related to the ICF competencies. The last module allows the participant to better understand the requirements of ICF credentialing and the preparation needed for their coaching career.
The program fulfils the training hours required in the ACSTH pathway to ICF certification. However, to qualify as an ICF-certified coach, you would need to fulfil other requirements as mentioned in the ICF website: https://coachingfederation.org/
