Performance Coaching
Be a Better Coach
Half day workshop
Overview
Good, basic coaching skills are not that difficult to acquire. Furthermore, as far as staff members are concerned, any manager wanting to coach is ‘pushing at an open door’ – people thrive on coaching and welcome it.
Why do they? Well, because although course-delivered training is important, good managerial coaching is much more effective. This is because the best change and development plans are those that the staff themselves think through and commit to. And importantly, managers lend both their sponsorship and authority to them.
Proper coaching plans are serious, work-related, committed-to objectives. Coaching sometimes replaces traditional training approaches, but is at its most effective when it provides the real application of new skills that training has kick-started. This session distils the principles of helping people to develop ‘on-the-job’.
What you will learn:
- What’s the learning problem: lack of skill or lack of will? How to choose the right approach in coaching
- Be a better listener – a fundamental skill of the coach
- How to give feedback powerfully but positively!
- Plan it, agree it, do it, review it – how to make it all work.
