Leaders as Coaches

Developing people & performance

Getting the best out of the people you lead

Imagine if you could get all your leaders thinking and acting like natural coaches. This practical workshop provides the tools and skills leaders need to develop people and performance through one to one coaching. It will help them adopt a coaching mindset, avoid the most common pitfalls when coaching and offers simple tools that enable them to take a coaching approach to the wide range of conversations they have in the course of their day, week or year. 

People walk away with a 4 step tool for coaching conversations, a 3 step tool for coaching through change and a 5 step tool for performance improvement discussions. 

They also get to watch how to coach someone in less than 10 minutes and receive GO LIVE action learning posts to keep coaching in front of mind as they put coaching to work within their team.
