COURSE TITLE

REGISTRATION

Branding - Where to Start
By its existence and it's offering of services to clients, your organisation automatically presents an image to the outside world. Customers and other stakeholders will develop a perception of your values and ability to deliver. Taking a lead in managing the perceptions of your brand values can have a positive impact on attracting clients, building good client relationships and developing repeat business. This course will provide you with a starting point, tools and techniques to define and understand your organisation's key values and attributes, both positive and negative, and help you understand how to use them effectively to present a positive image of the organisation.

Coaching for Change
Coaching for Change is a powerful and effective way of realising potential. One-to-one coaching can not only be of incredible value to the individual, but when groups of individuals share personal and team aspirations, it is the organisation that benefits. However, personal coaching is expensive and in most organisations it is often too costly to extend executive coaching beyond all but the most senior management. Coaching for Change fills this gap by providing an online self-facilitated coaching journey, which can be used alone or shared with others.
