Psychology for Coaches and Leaders
This online course provides a basic introduction to psychology—with a focus on how psychological mechanisms influence leadership, communication, and coaching.
You will explore topics such as perception, emotions, neuropsychology, group dynamics, and learning—and connect these insights to your own role and practice.
The course is delivered online and consists of short videos, reflection exercises, and recommended reading. You progress at your own pace, with opportunities for dialogue and experience sharing in reflection groups. The course concludes with a written reflection assignment.
Through the course, you will develop a deeper understanding of how people think, feel, and act—and how you can use this knowledge to engage with others with greater awareness, flexibility, and insight.
