Work Life Balance
COURSE OVERVIEW
Hybrid working, AI-driven innovation in work practices and other pressures are making it increasingly difficult for knowledge workers to find a healthy equilibrium between the forces acting on their lives. It’s in every organisation’s interests to help them find workable solutions.
A recent CMI survey of executive coaches found that work-life balance issues arise in the majority of coaching assignments. Nearly two-thirds said that these issues are germane to every executive coaching assignment! Moreover, executives presenting work-life balance issues typically also reported symptoms such as high stress, burnout and imposter syndrome.
Having a competence in supporting people through these situations is therefore essential both for coaches and for HR professionals. This short course is designed to equip you with a wider toolkit and range of ways to help.
The programme is accompanied by a guide/workbook and extensive materials for participants. Participants also receive one-year free access to the Coaching and Mentoring Resource.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
This programme is aimed at coaches, mentors, supervisors, and HR professionals, who want to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of work-life balance issues. It draws on a toolkit and theoretical frameworks developed over more than 20 years.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
At the end of this programme you will have learnt:
- How to recognise and help people to acknowledge and reframe work-life balance issues
- How to help people recognise the systems in play and their capacity to manage these
- How to help them make difficult, values-laden decisions about their work and non-work lives
- How to apply some of the same lessons to yourself!
- How to build a bigger toolkit to support people in designing and implementing systemic responses to work-life challenges
COURSE STRUCTURE:
The course consists of four two-hour webinars:
Webinar 1Â focuses on defining work-life balance and why it is so hard to make generalisations. It identifies the major forces that prevent people achieving balanced lives, why these have become stronger, and explores what balance means in different contexts. It also positions work-life balance as being about decision-making in those varied contexts.
Webinar 2 provides an extensive toolkit and an opportunity to practice, with colleagues, tools you choose.
Webinar 3 takes a systemic perspective, introducing practical approaches to helping clients map their own systems and consider how to involve their stakeholders as part of their evolving solutions. It also addresses your role as part of your coaching client’s systems or as a colleague if you sit in HR function.Â
Webinar 4 invites you to bring cases from your own practice to group supervision. This is essentially a consolidation of your learning so far.
