The International Coach Federation defines coaching as, ‘partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential’. 

At Kinharvie, they believe coaching to be an invaluable support to young people as they navigate the many transitions of their journey from adolescence to adulthood. Effective coaching provides a space for young people to:

• Make sense of the challenges and opportunities in their lives
• Understand and take ownership of their personal power and potential 
• Set goals and consider the next steps on their chosen path to adulthood 

Join them for this Coaching Skills for Youth Workers online course and enhance your ability to unlock the potential of the young people you are working alongside.
