Coaching Skills for Managers

Coaching Skills for Managers

COURSE DESCRIPTION

To be a manager today the ability to use coaching techniques is an essential skill. The old-fashioned management style of command and control or do as I say as I’m your manager is outdated and can destroy motivation.  Coaching employees for future development helps builds trust and commitment to organisation success. Coaching conversations can support employees in identifying where their behaviours work well and setting goals for self-development. Where employees may exhibit unhelpful behaviours a coaching conversation can support enhanced self-awareness and emotional quotient and promote better team working. Coaching can be useful for identifying strategies to build confidence and reduce barriers to performance.

Who is it for?

This course is suitable for line managers, supervisors, team leaders and those identified for future managerial roles.
