CHALLENGE COACHING PROGRAM

Challenge coaching is designed to help managers move through challenging situations by learning how to use effective personal leadership and people management strategies.  

This coaching program draws on FMI’s relevant people management and personal leadership short courses and offers a practical, work based approach to overcoming common challenges managers face.

This three to six month program is designed for managers currently facing a challenge that they want to overcome by developing their leadership and management skills.

The coach works with the participant to identify key content areas to focus on, working through learning objectives and tailoring the program to suit their specific learning needs and working context. Between each session the participant applies learning to their work and is able to review and evaluate their performance with the coach.
