Coaching Skills for Managers, Team Leaders, and Self

Do you have people working for you who are not making the most of their potential? Are you under pressure to do more with less? If so, coaching skills may be the key. Participants in this 1-day workshop will receive an introduction to core coaching competencies drawn from coaching models that combine process- and goal-orientated coaching in different ways: 1) GROW (Goal, Reality, Options (obstacles), Will (way forward)) 2) Co-active coaching 3) FACTS (Feedback, Accountability, Challenge, Tension, Systems thinking) Each model will be taught using a mini presentation to provide input about core competencies followed by interactive discussion among participants. All participants will have the chance to practice coaching, to be coached themselves and to observe others coaching using one or more competencies from each coach model. Typical scenarios include coaching under-performing staff to be more effective as an alternative to lay-offs; Reducing staff turnover costs by increasing employee engagement through coaching; Empowering staff to manage issues in their life sphere that may be impacting their performance at work; Participants will also have the chance to do a teach-back activity to prepare them to pass on their skills to others in their workplace. "The higher up you go in the organization, the less critical hard skills become and the more you need to be able to influence others."
