Coaching Skills for Managers

A workshop for managers or leaders that teaches hands on coaching skills to help you develop and empower your team.

Phase I - Two day coaching skills workshop, customized specifically to your company, to include the following:

• Background and context for coaching in the corporate environment

• Being a coach vs. managing others

• Five step process for coaching in the workplace

• Basic tool kit of coaching skills

• Coaching from your personal strengths to the strengths of others

• Advanced coaching skills

• Situational coaching case scenarios and skill practice

• Model coaching from workshop leader(s)

Phase II - Follow-up Integration Session

Using new or expanded skills in the workplace often presents immediate challenges for manager coaches. A focused follow up over a period of 30-45 days after a training session is a key component in integration of coaching skills into a manager’s everyday style. The scheduled follow-up will be two 4-hour small group integration sessions covering:

• Challenges and outcomes of advanced coaching skills to date

• Practical problem solving of specific issues encountered

• Additional skill building scenario practice

• Formation of self-coaching empowerment teams

Phase III - Value Added Mentor Coaching

Between the two-day workshop and the integration session, a coach will be available to mentor coach each manager individually on specific challenges they might encounter in implementing workshop skills. This coaching will be via telephone and email, providing real-time support for issues or situations the manager is experiencing.
