As developers of people, it is important for manager’s to recognise a range of learning and development opportunities other than training courses. It is also essential to recognise our own contribution to the development of our staff, namely our skills, knowledge and experience that can enable us to be positive role - models. Being aware of our facilitating role in the coaching relationship, and developing our coaching skills, provides development opportunities for our staff.
You guide the participants to develop definitions of training and coaching, to differentiate between teaching and supported guidance. The idea of coaching as an enabling and shared contract for learning between the manager and the staff member is examined, emphasising the why, what and when of the coaching process. Participants then have the opportunity to develop a coaching plan, using case study material. Finally, they identify the skills and attributes required for effective coaching.
Who is it for: This training resource is intended for use by trainers to help participants improve coaching as a core skill for developing staff.
