Be an even better manager with our coaching skills training

Just think for a moment…when have you been at your absolute best, and what was that like?  Also, take a moment to think about the most inspirational manager or leader that you know.  That person who seems to be able to get so much more out of the people they work with. 

How about that teacher that seems to be able to get extraordinary results from those in their class?  When you think about these experiences, what do you notice?  What do they have in common?  Freedom, growth, responsibility, challenge, feedback, belief, a high-level relationship?

Coaching is a skill, approach, and mindset that develops others through their own resourcefulness and builds upon their capabilities.  The process of coaching is a powerful one. 

It develops self-sufficient, confident, and self-directed problem-solvers.  What does that mean for you?  More time for your managers to lead your business, higher levels of engaged and motivated employees, and an innovative and forward-looking workforce.

Our Coaching skills for managers programmes are focused on your workplace combining a great mix of coaching theory, a bit of NLP, and a lot of deliberate practice  You will leave with the knowledge and understanding needed to engage in coaching conversations; both formally and informally.  

Asking the right questions is a big part of coaching. You will leave with the frameworks and confidence needed to structure coaching conversations, whether it is a focused coaching session, part of an appraisal conversation or simply standing by the water cooler.
