Developing Your Coaching Skills
- RECORDED ON:
Thursday, February 15, 2007 - PRESENTERS:
Madeleine Homan, Vice President of Coaching Services
A good performance management system is comprised of three parts: (1) performance planning, which consists of setting goals and objectives; (2) day-to-day coaching, to help your people accomplish their goals; and (3) performance evaluation, to examine an individuals' performance against goals during a certain period of time.
Unfortunately, the most important of these three is almost never done well in organizations: day-to-day coaching. Coaching should take up 90 percent of your people management efforts. It's through day-to-day coaching that you help your people monitor their progress and systematically move toward success.
In this seminar, Master Certified Coach and Vice President of Coaching Services Madeleine Homan will show you how to use focused conversations to create an environment that results in individual growth, purposeful action, and sustained improvement by:
- Getting into the coaching mindset
- Knowing when coaching is the tool to use, and when it isn't
- Consistently using behaviors that build trust and confidence in the "coachee"
- Applying a foolproof structure for action and results.
Don't miss this opportunity to develop your coaching skills'it is the best way to help accelerate others toward a higher level of performance.
