Programme leaders

John Webster. founder of CEO (The Chief Executives Office) and creator/leader of possibly UK's leading executive coach training programme for senior executives.

Tom Pickering. Founder of Icebreaker Interim management. Coopted member of the board of the Institute of Interim Management in 2008. Runner up Interim Manager of the year 2007 - using the techniques he learnt on 1 (of 3 ) module of the CEO Exec Coach training programme - which is why he has mobilised this programme specifically for Interims

 

Content and Outcomes: The 3 day course overviews the extensive range of tools, techniques and concepts taught in the CEO 12 day Executive Coach training programme (that leads to a Chester University Masters level Post Graduate Certificate award and right to use the designatory letters PG Cert. Exec Coach. The 12 day programme has been successfully completed by over 100 chairmen, CEOs and senior directors from all 5 continents with combined turnover exceeding £3 billion). (Syllabus and Graduate list Click here)

The 3 day Interim programme is believed - and has been specially designed, in association with Icebreaker Interim Management - to be the first course specifically created to bring purpose built certified coaching skills directly into an Interims performance.

A key intention is that delegates will understand how to COMMUNICATE IDEALLY with different personality/teams types so as to maximise the Interim's reputation, performance and team influencing skills and thus encourage clients to extend the assignments into 1:1 coaching/mentoring and team performance improvement

It focuses on the key practical, useable techniques of the 12 day programme and implants them - via leading edge experiential learning techniques - so the Interim goes away with a new skill set and a Certificate by CEO of certified basic coaching skills as proof of CPD activity that enable them to offer added value services including 1:1 and team coaching to their Interim performance - while significantly improving their personal communication with clients and their teams. These skills include team and 1:1 coaching and mentoring - inbuilt with powerful personal and team relationship techniques that are capable of transforming an Interims key areas of delivery; namely moving boards and teams to understand the reasons for THEM TO CHANGE and how to lead themselves to achieve serious turnaround performance and Profit improvement!

So the delegates learn how to recognize and influence 1:1 and team personality types that can influence/impede Interim results; how - using leading edge conversational techniques with exquisite coaching formats and intriguing language patterns - they can develop powerful rapport and influencing power so as to mobilise teams through radical change steps in operations, culture, relationships, practices etc that can bypass client or key executive resistance.

The programme has been tailored to send Interims away like newly qualified car drivers or private pilots. They have the newly acquired basic skills and abilities to 'drive/fly' and are equipped to practice and hone them to Unconcious Competence
