The
first step towards obtaining accreditation is for a
coaching provider to successfully apply for a place (for one or more of
its members) in a 1-to-1, 5 Day Program (a 4 Day Coach
Certification Course conducted on-site at the provider's offices plus
a 1 Day Practice/Coaching Program Review and follow-on telephone
mentoring with Dr Skiffington).
These
customized, developmental courses are able to address the immediate
issues of need/interest to your coaching staff and can focus on
real-life case-examples from your organization. Note: Past

at least 1 year prior) are required to first undertake a 2 Day Special
Refresher Course (to bring themselves up-to-date on the latest coaching
practices) to qualify for the following 1 Day Coaching
Program/Practice Review. |

Course follow-on 1 Day Coaching

The fifth
day of the above Program is spent with Dr. Skiffington and the
course participant (usually the coaching provider's senior member)
reviewing the coaching provider's projects and the coaching staff's
professional training/development needs to meet the current and
future needs of the projects/clients.
Dr Skiffington provides
a consultative approach to first understand the
strategic, tactical, and implementation objectives of your
client’s/in-house projects. Suzanne's
many years of experience in
successfully introducing best coaching practices into organizations
qualify her to evaluate a client's specific coaching needs and
recommend a suitable coaching program that is designed to succeed. |

A program
evaluation assesses the overall success factors of your program
measured against industry accepted best practices. The evaluation by
Dr Skiffington provides 'how-to' recommendations where
'world-best practices' can be employed and processes improved.
The evaluation by
Dr. Skiffington is used to gain an understanding of the project's
processes and to develop a 'best practice' gap analysis. The
evaluation process can be conducted on three levels: a) where the
existing program management strategies/practices are reviewed, b)
where specific problems and issues are analyzed and/or, c)
where the individual coaches' professional skills and their program outcomes
are evaluated across a range of factors
Some functions
include: Staff Interviews (on-site consultation with your key people),
Collection of Qualitative and Quantitative Project Data, Data Analysis
and Goal Prioritization (establishing Project Objectives and
Standards).
Dr Skiffington's proven methodology allows her to better
understand, identify, and forecast your current and future
professional and business development coaching needs while delivering
proven solutions in the form of follow-on customized, training
courses designed to meet those needs. A final follow-on project
and professional development training program with
recommendations is submitted. (See: Fourth Step) |

SECOND
STEP: Mentoring
This
vitally important service/mentorship provided by Dr Suzanne
Skiffington ensures: 1) her long term commitment to her 'Partners' coaching
program's success and, 2) a high standard of practice necessary for a
new external practice 'Partner' wishing to be part of the Global Work
Referral Program (minimum 18 sessions over 2 years).

| The
Coaching Certification Course provides the specific
tools, techniques, business management practice, coaching models
etc. that are required in day-to-day specialist professional
practice. This exclusive mentoring program
provides the glue to creating foundational strength
and resiliency. The program provides the difference between course
participants who listen and then go on and may apply what they hear
and are given, and those who listen and then go on to apply
what they hear and are given through One-to-One telephone
counsel/mentoring.
The program is a
form of personal and business success insurance - to ensure
your newly taught coaching skills and practice management skills
succeed. The program:
- helps
the coach evaluate how well they are performing
- assists in
overcoming challenges
- helps
reinforce the specific model of successful coaching as it relates
to their practice
- helps the
coach identify and refine what is working well and what needs
further fine-tuning and what to change
- helps the
coach reflect on where they are
- assists the
coach in problem-solving and finding solutions
- is a means for
information sharing
- provides
access to invaluable advice on business/marketing matters
- increases the
competitiveness of your practice
- assists the
coach in resourcing ie: a coach is a resource person and is
therefore as good as their resources are deep
- is a tangible
way for you to show your prospective clients that you are walking
your own talk by being mentored/coached by Dr. Skiffington.
Medium and
Frequency:
The mentoring program is conducted via
telephone and by appointment. Dr Skiffington makes the calls.
Frequency varies according to usage, but typically contact is made
every ten days or so for up to 60 minutes. |

THIRD
STEP: Follow-on Customized (multiple)
Training -leading to a Level Two rating. |

|
|
Customized
Specialist Workshop/Course
As our
courses are customized to meet defined needs, our 'Partners'
benefit from the ability to have key personnel/managers undergo
the same time-critical specialist, needs-based education at the same
time. Workshops can further be tailored to occur over time to keep
pace with your coaching program's roll-out and with changing
issues etc. Customized courses focusing on specific issues and
objectives generate greater impact and are more
cost-effective.
Follow-on customized, developmental courses are available on 2, 3 and 4
Day formats. Course fees vary according to number of participants (ie:
One-to-One or Small Group -minimum 2 persons, maximum 6). |

FOURTH
STEP: Co-Partnering by Dr Skiffington
-leading to a Level Three
rating. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keeping
the momentum and keeping pace with current world-best standard.
Our
preference is to establish an ongoing working relationship with a
few select 'Partners'. Our partners want an ongoing commitment and
support from us to ensure their projects continue to meet
'best industry-standard' and/or 'best world-standard'. As a coaching
developer and author of coaching best-practices, Dr Skiffington
chooses to work with some of the world's best coaching practitioners in the
form of an ongoing, co-learning, developmental partnership. However,
all of her coaching 'partners' receive equal access to her 'knowledge
and experience base'.
Dr
Skiffington assists the coaching provider (at least twice in a
calendar year) in:
1) co-developing coaching programs and/or
2) co-presenting educational programs (as a guest 'contract'
facilitator, ie: for an external practice -training and certifying a
client's staff, for an organization's in-house coaching program
-training and certifying their coaching staff and key management.)
3) supplying all Rating holders an extensive Annual Report
containing the latest in cutting-edge coaching knowledge, tools,
studies, resources etc |
