The Manager as a Coach

Coaching offers a cost-effective form of staff development

Coaching & Mentoring WorkshopAs pressure on today’s managers continues to grow, getting the very best out of their people becomes even more critical.

Coaching, often the most under-utilised and cost-effective form of staff development that exists, takes place in most work environments. But only when managers have a thorough understanding of the process and the skills involved is the immense potential of coaching realised.

This skills-based programme introduces the concept of coaching and focuses primarily on helping participants develop their skills as coaches. In the process, participants will become confident to adopt a more “hands-off” approach to their works – more important today than ever.

By the course end, participants are able to:

  • Define Coaching
  • Appreciate the skills and characteristics of good coaches and be able to apply them
  • Coach others effectively so they have more time to concentrate on their own role as manager
  • Develop staff that solve problems rather than ask questions
  • Enjoy better relationships with their staff
  • Give assertive and confident feedback
  • Get regular feedback from their staff which informs them of their effectiveness not just as a coach but as a manager too

Who should attend?

Managers at all levels with direct responsibility for staff who want to improve their skills as coaches and trainers with an interest in developing their own coaching skills
