Coaching for High Performance

Build your coaching muscle and generate greater engagement and performance

Overview

To remain competitive in today’s fast-paced world, more and more organizations are discovering that traditional “command and control” leadership is no longer effective. Successful organizations are moving to a model where the manager takes on the role of a coach and supports and guides employees rather than instructing them. Employees develop their own solutions and learn to adapt more easily to constantly shifting environments. This results in increased employee motivation and engagement—and higher performance.

Build your managerial effectiveness and accelerate your career by learning the proven skills of highly effective coaches in this workshop.
