Case Study: Google achieves stronger coaching confidence and inclusive leadership with Circl

Google boosts coaching confidence by 82% with Circl

Google, a global technology leader, sought to prepare software engineers on its London team to act as hosts and mentors for new apprentices. The challenge was to enhance their leadership and coaching skills to better engage with a wide range of personalities and working styles, while also improving their confidence and self-awareness. To address this, Google partnered with Circl for an Inclusive Leadership Coaching & Development programme.

Circl delivered a programme that combined coaching theory with real-time practice. Participants attended expert-led sessions and were each matched with a young person for weekly one-to-one coaching, creating a two-way learning dynamic. As a result, 82% of participants reported increased coaching confidence and 95% applied their new coaching skills at work. The programme successfully built more inclusive leaders and fostered stronger, more collaborative team relationships at Google.
