Coaching Communications for Results

While many managers and leaders know that coaching is an essential part of their toolkit, many don't know what it is or how to use it. It is no wonder… with coaching being talked about so loosely, it can be difficult to understand its power in building staff performance and moving others to action. As a result, many individuals who think they are coaching fall in the familiar trap of problem solving which sacrifices the development and potential of others in the process. Coaching Communications for Results focuses on broadening the leader's communication toolkit by generating a strong understanding of coaching and its applications. Through this program, participants gain:

• Broadened perspective of the role of “leader as coach”
• Improved understanding of what coaching is and when it's applicable
• Greater sense of self-awareness of their own strength and weaknesses in applying coaching techniques in the workplace
• Practice in using coaching skills

This program is ideal for any individual who's success depends highly on motivating others to take action and bringing out the best performance in others such as newly promoted managers or executives, client-facing professionals, team leaders, and internal coaches.

As individuals become more senior, it is expected that they think and communicate in a way that is strategically relevant to their organization and business challenges that they are facing.

Based on the core techniques used in top strategy consultancies, Strategic Thinking & Communication for Success focuses on helping individuals structure and present ideas, tell a compelling story, and make recommendations in ways that make business sense and that resonate with key stakeholders. Through this program, participants gain:

• Increased ability to deal with ambiguity in business problems and information overload

• Practice in structured problem solving and strategic messaging both verbally and/or in written presentation form
