The Director Coaching 1:1 Training Programme will cover whatever you wish it to cover. It could potentially cover the full range of Director Competencies in which Directors should ideally be knowledgeable and competent.

We could also cover a wealth of other subjects, including scenarios based upon your organisation or a composite of everything.

We will always match you to the best coach for your changing requirements. The 1:1 Director Coaching Training Programme can be as short or as long as you like.
