About the cohort route
The cohort route is designed for coaches who want structure and connectivity to develop.
Modules blend face-to-face and micro-learning to focus on developing your coaching through regular opportunities to coach, generate feedback and reflect.
Modules are intentionally spaced over time to create opportunities to explore and apply key themes in your own coaching environment.
