Leader Coach
Recognizing Leaders who Adopt a Coach Approach

Our Leader Coach Accreditation Scheme recognizes leaders and managers adopting a coaching approach or style in the workplace to maximize your people and teams’ potential. Like many AC schemes the focus is on accrediting fitness to practice, rather than theory and academics, and is available to Leader Coach members as well as non-members.
