Smart Coach




SmartCoach™ is an online coaching programme designed to improve leadership, build emotional skills and increase the effectiveness of people across an organisation.
SmartCoach™ is a cost-effective platform delivering leadership coaching throughout an entire organisation to achieve measurable change.
SmartCoach™ breaks down the building blocks of emotionally intelligent leadership behaviour and provides insights and practical tools that are all designed to consolidate learning.
Research Based
Research shows that lasting changes in emotional and social skills are developed through regular, consistent, and directed practice over time. Measurable behaviour change requires a process of deep learning the involves Actions + Reflection + Action:
Action refers to grasping, understanding and practicing new behaviours;
Reflection involves evaluating and reflecting on the effectiveness of new behaviours;
and Action again involves the modification and repetition of new behaviours so that they become embedded and more automatic habits of response and essentially new ways of being.

“Given the challenges of remote national teams we found SmartCoach to be a very effective way to reinforce face-to-face learnings and promote positive leadership behaviour change at Quiksilver. The tool is more integrated and personally engaging than other e-learning programs we have seen.” Michael Fuller, Quicksilver Australia
