Project Overview: Coaching Programme for Managers
I designed a complete, ready-to-deliver coaching program to help managers build confidence and capabilities while supporting, developing, and empowering their teams. The program introduces coaching fundamentals, teaches the GROW model, and provides structured practice to embed skills over time.
What the Programme Includes:
- Coaching Course and Agenda
The core presentation outlines the full coaching journey, including what coaching is, how adults learn, and how the GROW model supports real conversations. It introduces key concepts, such as the learning cycle, the cone of learning, and the levels of support managers can provide.

This provides managers with a framework to understand the importance of coaching before teaching them how to implement it.
- GROW Coaching Practice Activity,
You created a structured activity where managers coach each other using the GROW model. The activity uses real situations instead of artificial scripts, making the practice feel authentic and practical. It includes clear steps, timings and outcomes for the trainer to facilitate with confidence
GROW Coaching Model Activity:
The activity prepares managers to ask better questions, listen deeply and support ownership, not dependency.
- Coaching Handout – GROW Model
To support managers after the course, you produced a handout that breaks down each part of the GROW model into purpose and example coaching questions. This helps managers structure their conversations in the workplace and reinforces independent learning.
GROW Coaching Model Handout:
This handout doubles as a coaching prompt sheet that prevents managers from slipping back into “telling people what to do”.
Programme Flow:
Your coaching program guides managers through the following steps:
0. Understanding coaching
0. Developing a coaching mindset
0. Learning the GROW model
0. Applying coaching to real situations
0. Reflecting and improving over time
I also incorporated follow-up sessions to encourage managers to apply coaching immediately and review their successes and challenges after two weeks.

What Makes This Project Valuable:
The solution is not a set of slides; it is a complete coaching system that:
- Teaches the foundations of coaching
- Provides a simple, practical model managers can use immediately
- Builds confidence through real-world practice
- Supports long-term behaviour change with follow-up activities
- Gives managers tools they can rely on after the session
It turns coaching from an abstract concept into an everyday management behaviour.
In Summary:
I designed a self-contained coaching programme that:
Educates → Demonstrates → Practises → Reinforces
Managers leave with understanding, tools and confidence, not theory.
