The Coaching Students course introduces participants to the role of a student coach through a blended learning approach, combining interactive workshops and online theory. Course content is organized into three main areas: 1. Basic Coaching Skills – Fundamentals of coaching, developing a coaching mindset, and core methodologies such as giving and receiving feedback, asking questions and active listening. 2. Team Coaching Skills – Facilitating group dynamics and fostering team collaboration by promoting psychological safety and navigating challenges. 3. 1:1 Coaching Skills – Techniques like GROW, solution-focused coaching, and effective questioning. Students engage in reflective practice through regular experience exchanges and participate in peer visits, providing feedback on each other’s coaching. The online component offers theoretical insights that complement the live sessions. In addition to the lecture, individual coaching sessions are offered, allowing student coaches to experience the full process of a 1:1 coaching session.
