NOT ONLY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TRAIN COACHES, IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE AND ENGAGE THOSE WHO ARE TO BE COACHED.

Our experience tells us that it is not uncommon for coaching to be introduced into an organisation which only addresses the needs of those that are to coach and not those that are to be coached.

We believe it is important to educate and engage all staff about coaching and to clearly outline what coaching is, what it trying to achieve, how it works and their role and responsibility as coachee.

Outline and Approach

This coaching introduction course can vary in length from 2 hrs to 4 hrs dependent on your need and context.

The course in outline includes the:

• Concept of workplace coaching to staff who have little or no experience or understanding of what workplace coaching is or how it works
• Difference between managing, leading and coaching and how coaching works in practice
• Key models, skills, and behaviors of effective workplace coaching
• Best way to utilise the opportunity of coaching to focus, learn and to improve their own performance and outlook

The course design has tutor input, large group/small group and paired working and discussion.

By the end of the coaching course, participants will be equipped with a basic understanding of coaching in the workplace, will have an appreciation of why and how coaching is a powerful and effective way of increasing their performance, and how to start making the best use of coaching opportunities.
