The Art and Science of Organizational Coaching

Coaching has become a primary tool for consultants, human resource professionals, leaders, and administrators interested in promoting and sustaining leadership and executive development, organizational change, and managerial performance. Through practice, observation, feedback, and discussion, this course explores the fundamental skills and theoretical knowledge underlying leadership and organizational coaching. We examine the coaching process and relationship, as well as the issues and boundaries that can sometimes derail or constrain coaching’s effectiveness in organizations. This introductory course follows an online model of instruction, combining synchronous virtual class meetings with asynchronous assignments and resources. The course is highly interactive and provides many opportunities to explore and move beyond the edges of your comfort zone, experiment with new skills, and learn from your experience.
