SACAP Short Courses
Introduction
An internationally accredited (ICF ACSTH), 12-week online coaching skills training for managers and leaders who wish to apply coaching skills within their current work contexts.
Why Complete This Short Course?
Coaching is a meaningful way that managers and leaders can spark the best within individuals. And by enabling employees, the company as a whole can achieve its objectives. Coaching helps people to develop self-belief, self-motivation, choice, clarity, commitment, awareness, responsibility and a readiness to act. In short, it’s a process that unlocks potential and empowers others to reach the next level of performance for individual and group benefit.
SACAP considers coaching to be the art and science of getting the most out of who we are and what we do in the world. Coaching provides a facilitated “progress-oriented conversation” where coachees can discover new insights, set goals, choose actions and be accountable in achieving these goals as they cultivate growth through their learning.
