2 Days Face-to-Face Training

This 2 day workshop lays the groundwork for a 3 part Action Learning Program. It is a hands-on and minds-on introduction to coaching in the workplace. The focus is on how to be a coach and how to do coaching. You will be introduced to the essential skills of coaching and the objective is for you to understand and to start using core, coaching competencies to shift to an advanced level of communication and enhanced leadership (including personal leadership).

Leaders who have coaching skills understand and can tap into intrinsic motivation and empower people to take responsibility for their own performance.

This is a highly interactive, experiential workshop during which you'll discover how easy it is to use coaching to take yourselves, those you lead and your organization to more satisfying results.

It's also a very flexible workshop. We have an agenda of basics we need to cover but beyond that, we are all vibrant human beings and this is a dynamic changing world that we live in so we will also see what emerges from this interaction and we need to be ready to accept and embrace that!
