Most managers are aware that the old school "command and control" method of supervising simply isn't as effective as involving employees in their development. From determining the appropriate coaching approach, to implementing a comprehensive development plan, to conducting an effective coaching session, to setting meaningful team missions and goals, this program provides the tools and techniques to increase any employee's performance.
Coaching Conversations (1/2 Day Program)
This course is designed to build upon the concepts learned in The Art of Successful Coaching. If participants have completed that course, the discussion of coaching techniques and tools can be covered as a review and more time can be spent on the conversations - allowing more than one student to practice the skills. The course was also designed to work as a stand-alone program, in which case more time can be spent on the techniques and tools, with the conversations being used to demonstrate them.
