Coaching Skills Foundation
In today’s business world, leaders and people managers are challenged to move away from directing the who, what and how of work towards coaching teams to own the work and its delivery. But what exactly does it mean to “coach” at work?
“Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is more often helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
~John Whitmore, founder, GROW coaching model
Learn and practice the fundamentals of coaching direct reports and teams with a simple coaching model and tools. The result – teams and their members become more self-sufficient, resolve problems faster, and increase ownership of their work.
