Who this is for

Anyone wanting to learn more about parental transition coaching — including HR professionals looking to better support new and working parents within their organisations. You don’t have to be a qualified or experienced coach but some experience of people development, coaching or mentoring would be helpful.

What the course covers

Through bite-sized videos, text, quizzes, and reflective prompts, you’ll gain clarity on the role of a Parental Transition Coach and the unique challenges faced by working parents.

The course includes six self-paced online modules:

1. History of Parental Transition Coaching
   Explore how parental transition coaching has developed and why specialist support can make a difference to working parents.
2. Building our Own Self-Awareness as Coaches
   Reflect on the experiences, beliefs and assumptions that may influence how we coach and support others.
3. Supporting Working Parents Through the Change Curve
   Understand the emotional process of transition and how working parents may respond to change at different stages of their journey
4. Enable Clients to Think Ahead of Parental Leave
   Explore how coaching can help clients prepare for parental leave, manage expectations and think ahead about their return and career.
5. Getting Ready to Go Back to Work
   Consider the practical and emotional challenges of returning to work, including confidence, communication, boundaries and workload.
6. Supporting Client’s Longer-Term Career Development
   Explore how coaching can help working parents reconnect with their values, ambitions and longer-term career direction.

The course also includes a final Moving Forward with Your Learning section, helping participants reflect on their learning, identify their next steps and book an optional one-to-one coaching session with one of our experienced Parental Transition Coaching Course Facilitators, Gill or Andi.
