We all coach informally in our lives, personal and professional, on a regular basis. When you coach in the workplace you are seeking to improve a person’s performance, with an end goal of increasing their value to the organization.
That’s what this course is all about – helping you to develop your own personal process, a coaching style that works for you but includes all the basics that good coaches need. At the end of this course you should be able to:
+ Understand why a good coach thinks through their process.+ View a coach as a leader, supporter and more.+ Understand how to establish and assess goals.+ Know how to help those you coach create measurable, relevant goals.+ Recognize the roles, functions and tools of a good coach.
