Leadership

Leader as Coach

Overview

Coaching is the art of facilitating the development and performance of another person. 

It is a means of raising awareness, enhancing accountability and responsibility.  Most management development programmes now feature a coaching skills element – and rightly so.  The days of a manager ‘telling’ a subordinate what to do in a hierarchical structure are fading fast.

This one-day session takes the behaviours and skills of coaching and places them firmly in the leadership context.  It will help leaders to support individuals in achieving their goals, overcome challenges and move forward in their role within the organisation.

Who is it for?

This course is for any leader with a desire or a responsibility for developing individuals within their team.

What will I learn?

During this one day course you will develop your advanced communication skills (listening, challenging and guiding), which will benefit you in many areas of your work and life, as well as helping you to more effectively support, challenge and develop your team during future coaching sessions.

As well as learning about the methodology behind coaching, this workshop will also give you the opportunity to practice what you learn with a series of experiential sessions throughout the day.
