Hanover Foundations | Programmes

All Hanover programmes are tailored to suit the aims of each organisation we work with. We continue to be pioneers, constantly using research and feedback to adapt and develop our work.

By personalising our services, often combining both one-to-one and group coaching, participants can be selected for the programme most likely to maximise the benefit, according to their different challenges and personalities.

We currently offer 5 programmes with more in development. We also occasionally create bespoke programmes.

	It has been amazing the way the project evolved over the months, attracting a vast range of students. All seem to have benefited. Head of Year, Camden


	Foundations for Achievement Executive-style, one-to-one coaching 8-10 individual coaching sessions spread over 6-12 months Step-by-step practice in setting and achieving realistic goals Progress reviews The original Hanover programme, which focuses on overcoming limiting beliefs and has a dramatic impact on behaviour, motivation, aspiration and success.


	The main thing I got from coaching is a progressive attitude. If I set realistic targets I can achieve anything I want to.


	Foundations for Communication Coaching in groups of 5-10 young people Eight hours per group over a period of 6-8 weeks 1 or 2 additional individual coaching sessions for each young person Can be used to address specific issues e.g. friendships, bullying, drugs Communication skills training This workshop-based programme is about social development, covering assertiveness, time-management, listening, team-working and peer support. Outcomes include a strong community, a clear understanding of how others think and increased individual confidence.


	It has helped me think about school and how I act in front of people. I made new friends and felt I could speak about what I wanted. I’m more understanding, more co-operative, work more as a team with my co-workers and generally get along with everyone a lot better.


	All our programmes are certificated and suitable to be added to a personal achievement record or CV.


	Foundations for Exam Success Coaching in groups of 5-10 students Eight hours per group over a period of 6-8 weeks 1 or 2 individual coaching sessions for each young person Step-by-step practice in setting and achieving realistic goals Designed to tackle exam strategy and develop confidence Can be used to raise achievement in specific subjects eg Maths or English. A highly targeted programme for schools and colleges which makes a dramatic difference to academic performance, at the same time creating a supportive learning community.


	I am more confident in myself and my studies. I know how to revise for exams more efficiently so that I can achieve the best that I can.


	Career Foundations A combination of one-to-one and group coaching 4-6 individual sessions for each participant 2-3 hours of group workshops Step-by-step practice in setting and achieving realistic goals Interview skills training Designed both for young people about to make decisions about their future and those starting vocational training or first employment.

	I have researched, asked for help and been more aware about my future. I have been able to choose a suitable career path. It’s been really good and more than I expected.


	So what does it cost? Hanover has a reputation for providing excellent value, high quality work. Prices vary because each package is created on an individual basis to suit the aims of the organisation involved. Matched funding is sometimes available. We don’t have shareholders to fund, and we don’t have to maintain a team of people to manage volunteers, because we use professional coaches, so we consistently provide better value than others offering related services – plus we maintain quality of delivery of the highest order. In the corporate world, this kind of coaching costs thousands of pounds. One school recently signed up the moment they worked out that they could have a whole year group coached for the same price of a part time teaching assistant… Contact us for a personal quote and to discuss your needs.

Notes

All programmes are subject to a minimum cohort size. E.g. in a school this might be an entire year group of approx 100 students being coached over a 12 month programme.

Our coaches are not teachers and our programmes do not and cannot replace subject teaching. We support learning and achievement but do not deliver the curriculum in any way.


	Foundations for Leadership 10 classic one-to-one coaching sessions Training workshops in basic coaching skills (term 1) Clients coach other young people (terms 2 & 3) All peer coaching supervised and debriefed by Hanover coach This pioneering programme develops superb people skills – highly prized by employers – as well as creating a supportive atmosphere and a strong sense of community.


	The best experience I’ve ever had. I learned so many skills. The one I cherish the most is the ability to ask questions, listen to what they have to say and identify the key points, leading them to come up with their own solution.


	Special workshops Additional workshops are also available for organisations already running Hanover coaching programmes. We offer intensive training one-on-one or in groups including: presentation skills interview techniques communication skills team building
