Executive Coaching – Foundation Level Training

Develop your career with our executive coach training and learn what it takes to bring out exceptional performance in senior leaders and executives.

Our executive coach training is delivered by experienced and practising executive coaches, who are professionals in the performing arts and bring their expertise to your training.

Become a resilient, confident and competent executive coach who is able to develop the performance of a diverse range of senior leaders.

This integrated foundation training is offered to senior executives who wish to make a step change in their career towards executive coaching.  You will work with our senior executive coaches here at Guildhall Ignite, many of whom are published authors and all of whom are experienced and practising coaches with clients across the public, private, not-for-profits, arts and higher educational sectors.

Core skills are taught in small group settings to allow maximum opportunity for in-depth practice, discussion, reflection and refinement of your coaching skills. You will be closely supported by two of our senior team while your small peer group fosters professional networking and connection.

What recent participants say

I would thoroughly recommend this course as an excellent first stage in learning executive coaching. I was inspired by the course, the teaching was excellent, highly practical in focus and allowed me to learn at a good pace with lots of guidance and assistance from the real experts.

I have long admired the talents and generosity of performing artists and this ethos drew me to the executive coaching programme here at Guildhall. I particularly appreciated the warmth of the community, the thoughtful teaching, the reflective practice, the ethical standards and the role of fun.
