Skill Sprints

If we’re willing to invest in our educational success, why not do the same for our own careers? Coaching can be the boost that takes you from just coping to thriving..

Each session is led by an experienced, qualified work coach who combines years of real-world expertise with evidence-based strategies to boost your confidence, focus, and performance.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Make Your Best First Impression
   Using identity-mapping and the Dinner Table Exercise, we’ll draw on self-awareness frameworks from psychology to help you consciously choose how you “show up” in different settings. You’ll learn how to present your best self – authentic, confident, and adaptable.
2. Listen to Understand
   Based on active listening models from counselling and leadership theory, you’ll explore the different types of listening and why they matter. This session equips you to build trust, avoid misinterpretations, and strengthen relationships.
3. Work with Different Personality Types
   You’ll complete a self-assessment before learning how to recognise and adapt to different personalities. We’ll explore the distinction between social styles and personality traits, drawing on personality theory to improve teamwork and communication.
4. Find Your Power
   Using leadership psychology, we’ll explore the eight types of power found in the workplace. You’ll identify your own sources of influence and learn how to develop them to increase your impact and credibility.
5. Set Your Goals
   Drawing on motivational theory and goal-setting research, you’ll reflect on your priorities, find your balance, and set clear, measurable goals that are both ambitious and achievable.
6. Become Your Own Coach
   You’ll learn a practical coaching model grounded in behavioural psychology to assess your abilities, identify opportunities, and create a sustainable career plan that evolves with you.

Whether you’re stepping into lecture halls or your first office, these sessions will help you navigate with clarity, confidence, and purpose – all built on proven theory and real-world application.
