Seminar Description
Coaching in tomorrow's world will be very different from coaching in the past. In the "old world" there was an assumption that the leader knew what to do and how to do it, and could coach others to be effective. In tomorrow's world this assumption may well be invalid. This session will focus on how to be an effective coach without being a technical expert. A profile of “Coaching for Behavioral Change” will be presented and participants will learn the latest techniques for encouraging feedback to develop others (and to develop themselves). The concept of empowerment will be analyzed from a practical, real-world perspective. Participants (who are often overcommitted and understaffed) will learn how to apply key concepts, and the latest research on feedback and follow-up will be used to show how leaders can coach in a way that produces "guaranteed" results for both individuals and teams. Time for questions and practice sessions will be set aside to allow participants to discuss key challenges and to receive specific suggestions for meeting coaching challenges.
