Helping
Managers Become Effective Coaches
Effective coaching skills can dramatically improve
one’s ability to motivate and manage other members of
a team. Participants examine the difference between a
manager and a coach and they explore how to coach on an
ongoing, consistent basis, rather than just once a year at
review time. Participants also look at their own coaching
style and discuss how to deal with difficult coaching
situations.
Participants will explore how to:
• Coach Instead Of Just Managing
Learn how to empower your people and adapt to their
changing needs. Explore what your particular coaching style
is and what you can do to make improvements.
• Develop A Proactive Environment
By understanding when to focus on the task and when to
focus on the process, coaches will learn how to improve
their team’s performance.
• Use Effective Coaching Skills And Techniques
Use proven methods to help your staff become more
self-sufficient. Learn how to build trust, set goals, learn
from mistakes, motivate others, and measure performance.
• Gain Power By Letting Go Of Control
Learn how to delegate and which tasks to delegate first.
This allows you more time for strategic planning.
• Reinforce Behavior
The true power of coaching is guiding behavior through
reinforcement. To be effective, actions must be honest,
consistent, and specific.
• Conduct A Coaching Session
Explore the specific steps necessary for an actual coaching
session. This goes beyond mere performance review to
actually coaching and developing your people.
