Following the tailored, expert-led workshop, learners are given access to a range of work-based, AI-powered scenarios where they can practice having coaching conversations with avatars in real-time, and in a safe space. At the end of each unique conversation, they will be scored on the quality of the interaction and given feedback on what they can do better next time.

They can practice anytime, anywhere, continually receiving feedback until they master the art of having effective coaching conversations. Through practice, we can guarantee learning transfer and sustained behaviour change.

The ELECTRIC Coaching® model is a skills framework for leaders and managers, and for anyone who needs to create good relationships and have quality conversations with others at work. Performance coaching is the foundation of this programme.  It’s been specifically designed to support operational managers, senior leaders and professional specialists to develop a coaching style that improves individual and team performance.

ELECTRIC Coaching ® is not designed to teach people to be full time coaches. Instead it focuses on helping leaders use coaching skills in a pragmatic, authentic way to improve performance, engagement and collaboration in the people around them.  We teach participants the core skills of listening, asking insightful questions, and giving challenging feedback – and help them balance the levels of support and challenge that they use.

Amazing! What a clever use of simple tools. Great to really see and experience how the ELECTRIC coaching technique can transform ideas, thinking, management approach and really support others in feeling motivated and taking ownership of their dilemmas.

Our off-the-shelf and bespoke programmes are well placed to develop the behaviours needed to make your organisation stronger, more capable and more adaptable.

The OCM’s team includes specialist coaches and mentors who support leaders in building their knowledge of DEI principles, developing a more inclusive leadership style and improving their impact on those around them.

We run training and development interventions for teams and groups helping them understand the core DEI principles, and then applying them in their unique contexts.  These sessions result in tangible actions which benefit the team members, the team’s effectiveness, and the wider organisation.

At The OCM we have a long track record of developing Business Partners through 1:1 coaching and skills training. We know it can be a hard role to do. There’s always a balance of ‘enabling’ and ‘safeguarding’ – and the Line does not always appreciate what Business Partners can offer.  It's a rewarding and impactful role, but without support, can sometimes feel like a thankless task, where needs and complaints are expressed loudly, and praise and recognition are thin on the ground.

We have developed a programme specifically for Business Partners which helps build the essential skills and competencies needed to thrive and to deliver on what the Line needs.

I have been partnering with the OCM for a couple of years now as I have taken my team through a journey of significant change. Our focus has been on building trust and team spirit, resilience and courage and also on what  a commercial and strategic HR Business Partner should really focus on.  My team is much stronger and high performing as a result of these coaching interventions and I couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved together.  Graham and Jenny are incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, quick to grasp the main issues at hand and super friendly. I would recommend them to any leader looking to move the dial with their teams.
