SEF-BUS8604 - Coaching Essentials

Course Description

Coaching is the single most important managerial skill that separates a highly effective manager from the rest. The problem is that most managers don’t understand how critical coaching is for the development, growth, and performance of their people. Because they don’t know how to integrate a coaching approach into their leadership style, their employees can stay stuck on projects, becoming discouraged and demotivated. It can be frustrating when your managers aren’t developing their people as effectively as they could be. Your managers deserve training that will deepen their leadership skills, so they can better accelerate the development and performance of those they lead. Coaching Essentials®, embraces the tried-and true coaching competencies defined by the International Coaching Federation; developed by expert authors who have spent more than 28 years mastering the language and practices that immediately make these methods useful.
