Your own in-house tailored Coaching Skills workshop
A highly interactive and pragmatic one day workshop where your team will learn how to coach and mentor others. The workshop gives a clear and simple introduction to the essential knowledge and skills needed and the process for managing a successful coaching or mentoring session.
Coaching is facilitating the learning of others to help them reach their unique potential. It is how you can use your knowledge and skills to develop people to achieve.
As a result of the workshop, participants will learn how to approach a coaching session, use coaching opportunities every day and improve the performance of those around you.
"I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable."
John Russell, Managing Director, Harley―Davidson Europe Ltd.
