Manager as Coach - 2 days
The expectations of staff and potential new recruits that they will be coached and mentored are growing. Where such expectations are not met, the best people will move on. High-potential staff, in particular, expect to be coached not only in current performance but for future roles
Our workshop provides managers with the confidence, knowledge and skills to coach members of their teams to higher levels of current performance and for future roles. The workshop focuses on practical tools and techniques to support each individual's challenges in acting as a coach. Using our ‘Liquid Gold' coaching process, the workshop will help delegates learn not only the coaching process itself but also the importance of the manager's choice of role in that process; to act as ‘Guide', ‘Opportunist', ‘Leader' or ‘Driver'. Managers will learn the differences between these roles, why it is important to business performance to be able to use them all and when the use of each might be appropriate.
Participants will be able to practice new tools with each other and in doing so, will have an opportunity to seek solutions to their own business challenges as part of that process. So each delegate will get the opportunity to be coached on their own real business issue as well as learning new skills.
