LEADER AS COACH: EMERGING COACHING SKILLS FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGERS, HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS AND SALES LEADERS to PROMOTE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS...
Traditionally coaching was been reserved for Executives and selected individuals ONLY.
Things have changed!
"Mass retirement of the Baby Boomers and inadequate succession planning present an opportunity for coaching in the workplace. First-time managers along with Millennials and Gen X in executive leadership positions are primed to benefit from partnering with a coach and to receiving training on how to use coaching skills with their peers and team. By applying coaching skills, managers and leaders of all ages are role modeling this skill set for younger employees and future leaders. NOW more and more organizations are realizing the powerful impact of having leaders grow and lead with a coaches' mindset and powerful conversations!" ICF/HCI 2018
"The preferred management style is moving from command and control to a new style based on inclusion, involvement and participation"*

- How YOU can support and challenge YOUR best performers to achieve greater levels of success.
- How YOU can integrate coaching seamlessly into YOUR everyday interactions with your direct reports, clients, and even kids.

THIS COURSE PROVIDES YOU WITH A COMPLETE SET OF MATERIALS AND CAN BE DELIVERED IN A CUSTOMIZED FORMAT. THIS WILL INCLUDE INTERACTION & PARTICIPANT EXERCISES.
The ideal situation arises when leaders model coaching skills and a coaching mindset in their behaviors on a daily basis. Contrary to popular belief, coaching is not exclusively for development purposes-it is for the everyday challenges.
In this context, coaching can address 80% of routine obstacles in less than 30 minutes, as opposed to other forms of leadership that often forces people to do things that feel unnatural or leave you stuck for weeks. The more that you and your team advocate and model coaching, the better it will be for the entire organization.
Coaching cultures deliver a great promise: a high-performance environment that holds people accountable for delivering results, while fostering a climate of full engagement, personal development, and mutual support.
If you take the steps necessary to make it happen in your organization, the dividends could be exponential!
