Coaching for Great Work
Coaching works – and yet you could argue it doesn’t. Coaching frequently improves the performance of the target person, often a high-flier with particular blind-spots. Coaching helps them see their behaviours, and their behaviour’s impacts on colleagues, and then to modify them. The high flier becomes even more effective.
We all have blind spots. And difficulties observing our own behaviours, and how they affect others. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a programme that didn’t require every person in the company to have their personal coach, but provided the benefits of coaching in their day-to-day work? That’s exactly what Coaching for Great Work provides.
You may think you can’t afford to coach your whole team…
As organizations try to scale coaching – and move beyond reliance on external executive coaches – they run into a number of challenges. These include:
- Traditional coach training doesn’t seem to “stick” back in the day-to-day reality of work.
- Coaching becomes an end in itself – and loses its connection to strategic objectives.
- Executives, managers and leaders, even with the best of intentions, don’t have time: they’re too busy.
Coaching for Great Work Coach Training Program
The Coaching for Great Work training program addresses these challenges directly by training your managers to coach others – in 10 minute bites. Here’s what the highly interactive workshop includes:
- Why Great Work matters – for you, your team and your organization
- Two reasons why external coaches can be poor role models for executives and managers
- How to make coaching not just important – but urgent too
- How to find time to coach – and how to coach in 10 minutes or less
- The three key “coaching moments”, and what to do when you spot them
- The two words that can help make a challenge come alive
- The secret to doubling the likelihood you’ll do what you want to do.
Participants in the training program will also get the workbook and Coaching for Great Work coaching cards, convenient and practical learning tools they can draw upon after the coaching training program.
It’s more than just a regular coaching training program.
Many studies show that one reason why coaching training rarely sticks is the lack of post-program support. The Coaching for Great Work training program offers substantial post-program support, including:
- Two teleconferences 4 and 8 weeks after the training, to help embed learning
- A twenty-six week eCourse to reinforce key learning points
- Access to an online video library with key course learning points (all five minutes or less).
- Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book, Find Your Great Work: napkin-size solutions to stop the busywork and start the work the matters.
