Coaching is an essential tool in being an effective leader and is critical to generating top performance in your team. As a coaching leader, you can help your team translate thought into action and take responsibility for their results. Adopting a coaching style when engaging with your staff will improve your ability to lead, manage, develop, and support them to do their best work. In this hands-on, interactive workshop, you will:

• Explore your strengths and growing edges in coaching
• Learn and practice key coaching skills
• Learn how to add a coaching approach to almost any work conversation
• Begin to see the benefit to you and your team of spending time on developing others
