Embedding learning through practical application

Embedding learning through structured practical coaching sessions

ArcBlue Coaching is a market leading initiative aimed at building capability targeting the ‘70%’ of the 70/20/10 learning methodology – experiential learning.​​

Practical Coaching consists of a series of workshops dedicated to a specific topic (such as negotiation), aimed at hard coding knowledge through application, coaching and reviewing. Using the team’s real-life work product (such as a negotiation plan), the coaching sessions are aimed at strengthening and accelerating the way the learner undertakes their work. Practical Coaching can be used 1:1 or in groups.​​

ArcBlue can either train internal champions or run the sessions. Practical Coaching always follows a full training course, so all participants are on the same level of knowledge. ​

The sessions are set up as a safe place for learners to grow, make mistakes and build confidence. We can facilitate them 1:1 or in groups. The groups allow participants to learn from each other’s scenarios.​
