PLC502 Techniques of Coaching: Core Skills and Methodologies instructs on the techniques of coaching, and cements the foundations for good contemporary practice. It delineates the roots of coaching in sports coaching, management consulting, counselling and more recently, positive psychology. Garnering from these approaches, students will be educated on the core micro-skills of coaching. Each weekly class has a lecture and an experiential learning component. The latter requires students to evaluate each week’s topic in relation to their own personal life/work experiences, and to participate in group discussion. Practical experiences of self-coaching and co-coaching are pivotal in this course.
