Registration Deadline: April 28, 2010

Program Summary:
Coaching is a defined style of interaction that improves performance and innovation. Equipped with outdated or inappropriate approaches to coaching, many managers miss huge opportunities to develop their direct reports' talent and potential. Effective leaders treat every encounter as a potential coaching moment.

Our distinctive Workplace Coaching Model addresses the key challenge you face as a manager; you must meet the developmental needs of your direct reports while juggling your own ambitious goals, busy schedules and daily responsibilities. Our model gives you a framework to help your direct reports learn and get things done themselves, rather than give them orders.

In this highly interactive workshop, you will top up your coaching tool kit and experience coaching firsthand, as both coach and coachee.


You Will Learn to:
A practical definition and demonstration of what workplace coaching is and what it is not
How to identify when you should and when you shouldn't coach
A business case for integrating workplace coaching into your daily routine
Five best practices for a successful coaching conversation
Common traps and how to avoid them
