Coaching has become a critical element of team development and yet it is rarely understood and often implemented poorly. This training session will provide your participants with a core understanding of the methods of coaching and provide them with some basic skills that will enable them to practically carry out coaching in the workplace.

It moves away from the viewpoint that coaching must be process driven and bureaucratic and will help your participants appreciate that coaching is an everyday occurrence that, when performed correctly, can be enlightening and fun.

What coaching is about...and what it isn't about - Exploring the important elements of coaching as well as identifying the factors that should not be included when coaching.

Applications of Coaching - Discussing where coaching can be applied in the workplace

Coaching in Practice - An in-depth exploration of coaching through a fun activity. The participants will experience the feelings and relevant associations that a coachee may have during a coaching session and then discuss what this means in a practical sense.

Relating it Back to the Workplace - Taking the learning from the previous acitivity, creating a 'coaching model' and applying it to a practical coaching scenario.

Questioning - Practicing this fundamental element of coaching through discussion, practice and examples. Includes the GROW model and how it can be used in a practical sense.

Active Listening - Reviewing the good and bad of listening and identifying how important listening is to the coaching process.
