About this training course
Effective leaders coach their people to achieve excellence for themselves and their teams.
Unlike ‘directing’ – basically, telling people exactly what to do – coaching is all about asking someone the right questions, and bringing their tacit knowledge and insights to the surface, then supporting them in taking action. Through coaching, managers start to develop greater confidence, initiative and responsibility in their team members – from ‘tell me what to do!’ to realising they can work out what to do.
Participants on the Coaching skills for managers training course will learn to:
Define what coaching is and when it should be used
Determine key moments when coaching would work in their own team
Identify when it is more appropriate appropriate to “tell” rather than coach
Implement the ‘GROW’ model to release the potential of team members
Use coaching to drive forward the skills and output of their team.

Why book this training course?
💫 Upskill your managers
If your managers are feeling swamped, they might be spending too much energy on providing literal instruction to their teams. Adding coaching skills to their repertoire gives them a new approach that can increase self-reliance and reduce the need for ongoing direction.
🦸🏻♀️ Empowered staff
When people at your organisation can receive coaching from others, it helps unlock their own built-in troubleshooting skills and inner expertise, giving them the confidence and initiative to think things through and tackle problems fearelessly.
📈 Better results
Effective leaders coach their people to achieve excellence for themselves and their teams. Research has found that organisations with senior leaders who coach effectively and frequently improve their business results by over 20% compared to those who never coach.
