What’s in it for your team

What your Team Leaders will do differently

Too many Team Leaders step into coaching without the structure, skills or confidence they need, and the result is inconsistent performance and disengaged staff.

Coaching PRO turns them into confident coaches who run consistent, high-impact conversations against a clear standard.

  • Consistent coaching across every leader
  • Better quality and customer outcomes
  • Higher engagement and retention

Coach to a clear standard

Use the Standards’ competencies to define what a great conversation sounds like.

Run better conversations

Five coaching competencies that uncover strengths and change behaviour.

Coach any type of person

Adapt to varied performance levels, experience and attitudes.

Handle the hard stuff

Tackle negativity, closed minds and low accountability, fairly and firmly.

Make it stick

Spaced sessions with practice between them, so new habits form.

Leave with a plan

An action plan for three key coaching behaviours to use straight away.

The course

Three sessions, from foundations to mastery

Coaching PRO runs over three live 3-hour sessions: nine hours of expert-led training, with time to practise between sessions so the behaviours stick.

Every session includes live coaching simulations, so Team Leaders build fluency and confidence, not just knowledge.

It isn’t compulsory, but we recommend Team Leaders first complete one of our phone customer service courses, because the coaching examples use the framework taught there.

  • 3 × 3 hoursThree live sessions, 9 hours
  • Live onlineOr a one-day onsite workshop
  • Live simulationsPractice with feedback in every session
  • CertificateFor everyone who completes

What’s covered: three sessions

Each session builds on the last, finishing with a coach-the-coach assessment and an action plan.

Foundations of effective coaching

What makes a great coach, and how to coach the behaviours that drive premium customer experiences.

  • Lessons from business and sports coaching

Application and handling the hard stuff

Apply the method in realistic simulations, including the conversations most leaders avoid.

  • Clear, fair and firm coaching

Consolidation, assessment and next steps

Do Team Leaders need to do another course first?

What are the ACXPA Global Contact Centre CX Standards?
The ACXPA Global Contact Centre CX Standards define and measure what good looks like in a contact centre. Agent Mastery (70% of the score) covers five competencies and 18 behaviours; Accessibility covers how easy it is to reach a person. They’re the framework behind the Australian Call Centre Rankings.
Do we need to use the Standards to benefit?
No. The coaching methods and conversation guides stand on their own. Coaching to a clear standard does tend to deliver faster, more consistent results.
What is the Certified Contact Centre program?
An ACXPA program that trains your own assessors and leaders to score and coach to the Standards, using the Agent Performance Matrix, with a Certified badge renewed each year. Find out more.
How is the course delivered?
Public courses run live online via Zoom over 3 × 3-hour sessions. Private courses run live online or onsite as a one-day workshop.

What’s included?
Three live 3-hour sessions with Simon, coaching simulations with feedback, an individual action plan and a certificate of achievement.
Will the course definitely go ahead?
Public courses need a minimum number of participants to run, so we reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a date if too few people book. If that happens, we’ll let you know as early as possible and you can move to another date or get a full refund.
