Description

Coaching for performance in the workplace has been identified as a key driver for developing and enhancing the performance of people, as a result of increased awareness of skills and capabilities and a greater sense of responsibility for using them in the workplace.

This workshop is based on the GROW coaching model, which is an internationally acclaimed model for structuring coach-like discussions at work. You will leave the workshop with new ideas for using coaching as a leadership tool and an understanding of when and how to apply a coaching model to your conversations at work.

The workshop contains materials for future reference including an eBook of coaching scenarios to support the most typical conversations that take place at work.

I'm applying focus time to recognise and prepare where coaching conversations can add value. I've also changed some of the questioning approaches I use when in conversations.

I talk more with staff about what they want to achieve. I've changed my approach when working with the team to give them more say in what they do, instead of me telling them what to do. I listen to and guide them when required.

I make a conscious effort every time I have a conversation with my team to use this new coaching method. I let them know what I am doing so they understand if the conversation appears different from usual.
