Aim and Overview

All of us, whether it’s in our capacity as Managers, colleagues, or friends, often find ourselves trying to help others to achieve something. This two day workshop develops the coaching skills of managers to enhance the performance of their staff and their teams, and to help others achieve their goals.

Attendees will explore basic and advanced principles of coaching and create their own framework for good coaching practice. We will also discover how the use of negative and positive information can reinforce or change the behaviour of others.

As part of the course, participants will receive impactful personal feedback, enabling attendees to develop and refine their coaching skills. Attendees will formulate an action plan to ensure coaching becomes an integral part of their management practice. Places are restricted to a maximum of six delegates per tutor.
