Assessment methods
At Well College we see assessments not as tests but as learning tools, they are not meant to trick you, rather they are designed to provide you with another learning opportunity. There are three tasks in this unit. Each task is designed to build your coaching skills step by step. You'll begin with a simple, peer-based activity, an easy and supportive way to connect and practice with others at the same stage. Then, you'll move into a powerful coach mentor session (not an assessment, but a personalised experience) where you can deepen your skills while being the centre of attention. Finally, you'll bring everything together in a comprehensive case study, showcasing your growth and readiness to coach with confidence. Once you have completed and passed you will be granted access to download your Certificate along with a free Continuing Education Points digital badge. |

UNIT CONTENT ▼
Your text, workbook and activities will journey with you from connecting authentically with clients (and beyond) through to running successful coaching sessions for clients. The below description describes the content of the course but equally the experience of the subjects as each and every aspect you'll unpack, explore and experience for yourself. Quite simply you'll become the coach you wish to be in this subject.
Coaching foundations
We begin by looking at the elements that make up a truly effective coaching or mentoring session and explore the concept of 'wellbeing' in the lens of how we can work with, support, and empower others to find processes, plans, strategies, and resources (within and externally) to begin, action and reflect on their wellbeing destination.
The coaching process and what makes it so effective
In this section we explore the origins of coaching and how coaching has been able to move client-led practices beyond a clinical and expert approach. We start to become familiar with the role that coaching competencies from bodies such as the International Coach Federation (ICF) have enabled coaching to be firmly focused on the empowerment of the client as the possessor of all they need in order to live the lives they truly wish to live. We reflect on positive psychology as an influence as well as other theories, however, when come to the ICF competencies we can see how they enable coaches to create powerful transformative coaching sessions.
Person-centered practice to empower clients
In this section we explore the role of the coach and the essential elements of any professional exchange that make it powerful, present-moment and ensure the practitioner meets the individual where they are. We take a deep dive into the characteristics of an effective and ethical coach and strategies to harness our own passion to be the best we can be for ourselves, those around us and our clients. You'll begin to work with clients and other students growing your ability to create a trusting environment free of expectation or judgement.
The logistics of coaching
This topic explores the application of your training to life as a coach looking at logistical elements of booking clients, creating coaching packages to give more to clients beyond your time 1:1 together, and how to use collaborative strategies to build scope into each session and your business itself. We check out booking apps, payment options, 'commitment' forms and accountability and more.
Running sessions and follow-ups
Taking your practical work so far you'll begin to work on structuring sessions with clients so they are focused, transformative, inspiring and achieve the outcomes your clients have shared at the outset. We dive into our own barriers we might have as coaches so that we are safely and authentically in service of others. We'll look at how to exude coaching presence, how to formulate questions that evoke deeper thought, ways to tap into our curiosity and how to nurture your intuition so you hold a amplified trust in your client, yourself and the coaching process.
Taking your work with clients to the next level
With an evolving framework and foundation you'll organically be ready to work on more advanced coaching tools including the use of asking permission to dive deeper and to challenge and extend your clients. In this part of your training you are practicing your coaching with those in your network as well as your fellow students, you'll become adept at reflection, reframing and mirroring to empower your clients to step into their light. You will be comfortable with holding the space and silence for your clients while their transformation continues, and together you'll feel the impact of celebration their successes.
Bringing things to a close
Your sessions now empower clients to clearly articulate what it is they are looking to achieve, what this looks like in reality and what it means to them. In partnership with the client and through curiosity-led and intuitive processes they are able to create their own plan, processes or resolutions to reach their goals. In this process they have felt a growing sense of competency and begun to rekindle self-compassion and an awareness of just how capable they are. In this section you unpack the finishing touches on sessions looking at the resources clients might need to call on from within and around around them, consideration of any obstacles they may need to plan for or unfold, and how they will be able to self-monitor and be accountable to themselves. We explore how to invite clients to bring sessions to close so every aspect of the session has been led by them, and we look at follow-ups, referral systems, duty of care, how to cope with red flags and working safely.
Finally we consider how we can grow as coaches, how to find clients and how to grow our coaching business so we might connect with more people who can benefit from their clear, authentic and positive journey into the life they wish for.
