Creating Coaching Conversations in the Workplace

1 Day Introduction to Coaching for Managers

What will you learn?

Coaching conversations offer employees the best possible learning opportunities on the job: high quality listening, powerful questioning and appropriate challenge, all within the context of a trusting relationship.

Leaders that engage in coaching conversations need skills in building trust and relationship and a genuine desire to support others to achieve their potential.

This one day workshop will begin by briefly exploring the differences between Coaching, Mentoring, and other ‘hats’ that a manager may wear with his or her staff, before focusing on developing some of the key skills of:

  • Building rapport & connection;
  • High quality listening;
  • Drawing someone out on their own thinking;
  • check
    Providing appropriate challenge;

These skills are invaluable if you are interested in having conversations that support your people to grow and be less dependent on you as a manager.
