Summary module description:

This module develops the ability to reflect on the relationship between personal beliefs and the habits of interpersonal behaviour. It builds upon some of the psychodynamic models introduced in the Certificate in Coaching, and enables the student to achieve a high level of self-awareness and behavioural flexibilityy. The importance of reflective practice in coaching for behavioural change will be explored including the process, facilitators and defences to self-awareness. The module is divided into two parts and is highly experiential.
