Coaching & Mentoring Training (UK)

You don’t need your managers to become life coaches.
You need them to start asking better questions, listening more, and unlocking the thinking in their teams — not doing all the thinking for them.

At NBS Training & Coaching, we deliver practical, real-world coaching and mentoring training for managers, leaders and high-potential staff.

No abstract models. No pointless acronyms.

Just straight-talking, structured development that builds lasting coaching capability.

Why It Matters

You’ve promoted someone into management. They’re competent. But now people are looking to them for answers — and it’s exhausting.

Because:

They don’t know how to develop others, only how to “do the job”

They think mentoring means “talking about how they did it”

They mistake coaching for giving advice with a softer tone

We fix that.

Our training helps managers:

Understand when to coach, when to mentor, and when to direct

Use questioning to unlock clarity, not create confusion

Give feedback that moves someone forward — not shuts them down

Build confidence and capability in others

Develop future leaders, not followers

What’s Included in the Workshop

What Makes NBS Coaching Training Different

We tailor everything to your real-world context

We make it practical, not preachy

We use coaching live in the session — not just talk about it

We help you embed the skills long after the workshop ends
