'The State of the Organizational Coaching Profession':
Coaching inside organizations today is a demanding discipline.
The corporate coaching profession has evolved dramatically over the last few years and bears little resemblance to its fuzzy predecessor. Today's organizational leadership group needs to be assured they are employing best-practice corporate coaching standards and effective, validated corporate coaching tools and resources.

Coaching, by nature, is in a continual process of development and draws from a wide range of behavioral sciences and professional disciplines. Professional coaching has little resemblance to the fuzzy 'model' promoted by the large online course marketers, many regional providers and commercially oriented "international coaching" associations.

-For over a decade, Dr Skiffington (as the Executive Director of Education at the Behavioral Coaching Institute -our parent organization), has worked with many of the world’s leading organizations engaged in coaching to realize outstanding business outcomes through successful validated, initiatives. Our real solutions have produced real results. Our text books (published and distributed in multiple languages by McGraw-Hill International -Education), contain input from our clients worldwide, and document many outstanding success stories.

By working with hundreds of American, UK , European, Australian and Asian organizations, Dr Skiffington understands the unique regional organizational coaching challenges and support requirements faced by our corporate, government and private clients. Equally, as one the world's leading researchers and developers of coaching technology and after training and certifying hundreds of organizational coaches around the world, Dr Skiffington (as a long-term practitioner herself) intimately understands the personal and technical needs and ongoing support necessary for coaches to achieve continued coaching success.

    The Institute's Corporate / Organizational Support Program:

Keeping the momentum and keeping pace with current world-best standard practice
Our long-term experience clearly shows that you will significantly enhance your program's success factor and simultaneously lower your overall coaching costs with the right 'technical and intellectual support'. Because we only work with a small number of select clients we are able to customize their Support Program to meet their changing requirements and provide 'need-to', personalized support at the highest level. This helps you to meet your ongoing coaching needs, manage a coaching program at 'world-best industry standard', stay within budget and produce the bottom-line results you expect.

Option 1.
Customized Courses
       "The mission of our Institute is to develop and deliver customized, experiential learning
       experiences that create a distinct competitive leadership advantage for our clients." -Dr Skiffington

Introduction
Dr Skiffington and her select facilitators works with select organizations on a one-to-one basis to develop coaching learning experiences tailored to their specific in-house practice needs. Whether you have an established coaching program or are establishing one, the custom program solution can help provide your key personnel with the latest valid, industry-proven coaching knowledge and practices and support.

            "Working with Dr Skiffington, we've been able to develop a powerful program for addressing strategic
              executive development issues. A key element of our success with this custom program is that our
              people were directly shown one-to-one by Suzanne how to apply the best practices to our situation
              and address the issues at hand. Our coaching program sponsors, drivers and coaches were also
              provided an invaluable, individualized blueprint for moving to the next level and beyond."  
                   -John Beresford [Senior Vice President], BP Services


Example: 3 Day -Customized (delivered onsite) Master Coach Certification Course:
This unique very small group course (delivered on-site, in your offices) features tailor-made, hands-on, personal skill and program task learning modules, allowing you to roll up your sleeves and get right to work. With Dr Skiffington's expert facilitator's guidance and support in just a matter of days you’ll be learning powerful skill applications and embracing proven program management practice standards. (see: Master Coach Certification - 'Course Content' and Group Rates ) 

Option 2. 
Learning Partners:
Organizations who wish to partner with us to obtain a world-best standard, customized certified coaching program (for example; Specialist Management Coaching Practice Management Courses (for HR, L & D etc..), Internal Coach Certification Courses, Management and Leadership Coaching Courses, Management and Leadership Mentoring Courses etc..). These learning programs typically focus on specialist areas of knowledge and can be a one-off event or conducted 3 or 4 times over a year, for different participants. For organizations who require courses as an ongoing event we are frequently able sell the customized courses proprietary rights of use to the client. In this situation the first few courses are delivered by Dr Skiffington's facilitators with the assistance of 2 or 3 of the client's facilitators (who are already Certified Master Coaches). Typically after 3 events the client's facilitators receive their appropriate facilitators certification to deliver the course themselves and the client acquires the course license of use.
