Coaching for Performance (For Supervisors and Managers)
Coaching is a skill that maximizes the ability to learn from experience and contributes to developing a high performing organization. Building positive relationships with your direct reports to improve talent retention, performance, and their sense of being valued is paramount. Participants will leave with tools and concepts as well as having practiced coaching skills that are immediately transferable to their everyday work situations. As a result of this course, participants will be able to distinguish a managing conversation from a coaching conversation and will know how to utilize each at the appropriate time. This course is not about giving participants more to do; it’s about making them more effective at what they already do.

This workshop is an intensive skill and practice session to reinforce the learnings from the Coaching for Performance curriculum. The training includes a review of the coaching tools and concepts along with a discussion of their use and outcomes in everyday work situations. Each participant will have the opportunity to describe current issues they are facing and get coaching and feedback from the group. Participants will have the benefit of working with a variety of challenging situations while utilizing and honing their coaching skills.
