Why, Who and What ?

One of the manager’s responsibilities is to create an environment where employees can grow and develop. Coaching does that. It is significantly different from management because coaching focuses on helping someone grow and develop based on his / her own best interests, as well as the best interests of the company. Coaching and good management really help people engage in their work.This course is primarily designed for managers and can also be interesting for HR professionals, project team leaders and anyone who is required to transfer knowledge and improve others’ performance. All participants have a one-on-one coaching session with the trainer prior to the course. This is a fun, dynamic course full of practical exercises and role plays. The participants receive a copy of John Whitmore’s book Coaching for performance.
