Coaching Skills for Managers

The workshops are designed to help managers improve their capacity to adopt a coaching style of management and identify when it's appropriate to do so. They are highly experiential, to maximise self-awareness, opportunity for feedback and practical learning.

Both consultants delivering the workshop are practicing coaches who can share their experience of coaching with attendees.

The workshops are aimed at providing:

Coaching clarity

Understanding how coaching as a manager is distinct from mentoring, external coaching, counselling, etc.

Self-awareness

Identifying their natural coaching style and how it differs from other styles.

New coaching skills

Building on their natural styles to deliver more effective coaching to a wider range of people.

Specific skills

Useful models and practice of questioning, listening and feedback skills.

Practice sessions

Attendees are asked to work on real work scenarios in the practice sessions.
