Each programme group typically has up to 10 people with regular 1:1 coaching and smaller group work, completed in a peer ‘team’ group of up to 5.

A coach is a qualified professional that works with individuals (usually executives, but often high-potential employees) to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve their development objectives, unlock their potential, and act as a sounding board.

Coaches provide a confidential and supportive sounding board for their clients. They ask questions, challenge assumptions, help achieve clarity, provide resources, and yes, sometimes, with permission, provide advice. They administer and help interpret 360-degree and behavioural assessments, conduct confidential interviews to help a client gain self-awareness, and establish development goals.

At the conclusion of the Programme, our expert graduate recruiter Paul Currer will coach you about how to best demonstrate your experiences on your CV, in cover letters and in job interviews, allowing you to stand out from the competition.

Please let us know if you have specific commitments during a desired Programme – we can try to accommodate this, as appropriate.
