Coaching and Counseling for Results
Course Description
If coaching isn’t traditional supervision, what is it? There are five approaches to coaching: encouraging, training, counseling, mentoring, and challenging. An effective coach recognizes when to use each approach, and together the approaches enable managers and supervisors to help employees develop their full potential.
Participants learn how to incorporate coaching and counseling into day-to-day activities. They discover that coaching is not a “set aside” but an integral component to establishing trust, doing business, getting work done, appraising performance, and developing leaders on an everyday basis.
Participants learn to evaluate whether or not the employee has an understanding of expectations regarding performance and to evaluate any situational constraints that might impact performance such as lack of resources or authority. For the high performing employee, participants learn how to coach them to the next level of performance.
