Aims
This module is designed to build on the holistic coaching skills developed in levels 4 & 5. It acknowledges the diverse needs and interests of final year students of this subject by adopting a student directed approach to learning. Students will be encouraged to develop and explore the theory and practice of coaching through application in an appropriate setting (Minimum of 4 progressive session). As such a generic conceptualisation of coaching will be adopted, allowing the students to engage in a diverse range of applied coaching contexts which best meet their individual and course needs, and which will allow them to develop professionally in these areas.
The aim of this module is to encourage practitioners to be reflective of their professional environment. There is a strong emphasis on the practical application of this reflective practice. This module therefore requires participants to apply their self-awareness, and problem setting and problem-solving skills to some work based coaching issues.
