COACHING THE COACH
‘Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn, rather than teaching them’.
Tim Gallwey.
The way organisations are developing their managers and leaders is changing. There is now a growing demand for coaching training for this population. Whether this is your current leaders or those aspiring to senior roles in the future, this approach gives them the required skills and knowledge, enabling them to coach their teams to greater levels of performance and to reach their full potential.
A key aspect of this approach is ‘in the moment coaching’. This form of coaching is very effective, as it takes place at the point of action, with the line manager asking rather than telling. The onus is on the individual or team to find the solution not the manager. There is definitely an upward trend towards organisations wanting to upskill their line managers with a coaching skill-set and when you see some of the benefits, you understand why:
- Supports the performance & development of people within the organisation in a more constructive and empowering way.
- Employee engagement is enhanced.
- Helps to retain top performers & critical talent within the organisation.
- Reinforces a coaching culture.
- Allows managers & leaders to get the very best from their people.
- Introduces tools & techniques that supports both formal and informal coaching.
- Excellent return on investment.
- Ultimately….IMPROVED PERFORMANCE!
Whether you are looking to coach and train groups or individuals, once again my approach is bespoke to you. Whether you need to upskill managers with the tools & techniques to be a better coach or you are looking at a broader remit of embedding a coaching culture within the organisation, I have experience of both design and delivery in this area and would be happy to discuss in more detail. Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
