The Skilled Helper Training Course (with Gerard Egan Ph.D.)

The Skilled Helper Model of coaching developed by Gerard Egan provides mentors, counsellors, parents, life coaches and management teams a solution-focused basis for their work. The three-stage model includes essential skills that a Skilled Helper can use to prepare other people for setting and achieving meaningful goals.

In this Skilled Helper training, students gain insights into an effective strategy for living life, by knowing how to interpret their life experiences objectively, tackling everyday challenges, solving problems, seeking out new opportunities, and setting inspiring goals. Human growth occurs when people become adept at setting and pursuing meaningful objectives.

The Skilled Helper Model is one of the most popular and effective models of counselling skills, leadership, and coaching taught by colleges and universities all over the world. In addition to being taught in many universities, this course is also used in a variety of (formal and informal) counseling settings, including the workplace and public services organizations.

The purpose of this course is to provide you with a step-by-step process for helping yourself or other people to formulate a plan of action for goal setting, taking greater responsibility for becoming a more effective person and developing inner resources that will stand you in good stead for heightened productivity and effectiveness for many years to come.

Aside from helping you navigate a coaching (or mentoring) session, this model enhances your ability to interact with people in both a professional and social setting. In this unique Skilled Helper Training Course, Gerard Egan combines his 45 years of experience with Kain Ramsay to teach you a framework for solving practical problems and providing skilled help.
