Pre-Convention Workshop 2

The Manager as Coach

The role of a coach has always been to get the best out of others performance -- whether on stage, on the playing field, or in business. Speeding up the learning curve and turning that learning into productive behavior is why possessing coaching skills is so important to you as a manager and leader.

This workshop offers an introduction to the process and techniques of behavioral coaching in order to help others in your organisation become more successful.

The purpose of the workshop is to enhance your ability and willingness as a manager to effectively facilitate the coaching process to effect a positive, long-term behavioral change.

Additionally, the program will help you understand how to do this in a very effective and time efficient manner. The situations practiced are based upon either customised scenarios developed with a client, based upon their culture and leadership model, or general situations based upon common leadership issues in Marshall Goldsmith’s large data of 360° assessments and typical coaching engagements across multiple organisations.

The Manager as Coach Workshop is designed to be largely experiential in nature and as a participant you will have an opportunity to apply some of the coaching skills in either rehearsal or observer consultant roles.
