Margerison-McCann Team Management Wheel™
I am always delighted when individuals who receive praise also acknowledge the wider team that contributed to their success. Even more so when they can clearly articulate how and in what ways their colleagues supported them. “It’s a team effort.”, “I’d like to thank my team…”.

Build your coaching skills on top of your existing specialisms, to develop your own coaching identity. This Level 7 PGCert, accredited by Leeds Beckett University, also provides fast-track award of EMCC Senior Practitioner from one of the leading coaching and mentoring bodies.

Good questions lead to good listening (and vice versa: good listening leads to good questions)! They build interpersonal bridges and create connections. Questions such as: ‘What moves you?’, ‘How does that make you feel?’ or ‘Would you like to tell me more?’ are usually sufficient.

Probably because people don’t think they have time for it.
Across nine live, virtual webinars in early 2026, this foundation level course will give you the fundamental knowledge and skills to be an effective coach and mentor.
