Introduction
We often hear record-breaking athletes say; I owe it to my coach; That’s because however talented they are, athletes need a coach to improve their performance and competitiveness. Likewise, Companies and Organisations need to create a culture where coaching and feedback occur as a routine part of each day. Towards this strategic end.
-
This innovative and motivating course, explains a structured approach to coaching which is effective whether a professional is working with a new recruit or seeking improvement from an experienced player.
-
Being less of a boss and more of a coach is fundamental to modern management.
-
Urging people to do better won’t work unless they know how to do it better.
-
Good coaching builds trust and collaborative climate between professional and team.
-
The process involves breaking tasks down to their component parts, helping people to improve performance in each element and enabling them to pull these elements together to achieve the desired effect.
Objectives
It is essential for effective leadership to understand that:
-
Coaching and equipping, is one of the most important acts of leadership.
-
Successful managers recognise that to get things done cost effectively they must ‘grow’ people to their full potential.
-
Outstanding performance must be drawn from every member of the team.
-
This requires clear direction, feedback and personal empowerment.
Training Methodology
The Course will be presented in a highly inter-active manner, with a very impactive computer presentation style.
Together with your fellow participants, you will bring a wide variety of experience and resources to the programme. The course facilitator’s role is to help you learn for yourself and to assist you as you make sense of new ideas and techniques that you can use at work. We learn things as we try them out, stepping out of the zones that we find comfortable. Joining in role-plays and having a go may feel awkward but is often the best way to find out how we are doing with our learning. You will have plenty of opportunity during the workshop to experiment and try out new skills and understanding. The course facilitator will give you some input and then help you to make sense of the models through some discussion and then practice. You’ll then decide actions to apply the learning to your workplace.
