Coaching Masterclass for Leaders
The Coaching Masterclass for Leaders workshop will provide leaders and managers with the confidence to use coaching in their day to day interaction with colleagues or clients. We will introduce the role and purpose of coaching and enable participants to practice and receive feedback on a range of effective coaching tools. The course will also explore the skills associated with coaching and facilitating in the team environment, and how coaching can be used to engage colleagues, align goals, and provide a method to manage difficult conversations.
For participants with more experience of coaching, we will differentiate our approach to ensure they benefit from some current thought leadership in coaching practice, informed by up to date organisational research relating to the effectiveness of coaching in enhancing individual and team performance. This will include a consideration of coaching different personality types, and how to identify and coach people with diverse strengths and capabilities within the team environment.

The day will cover the following elements:
Contracting and ground rules for the session, and why this process may support your coaching practice. We will conduct this as a group exercise for the day, and then discuss the merits of agreeing a coaching contract or ground rules with coaching clients.
Explore the role and purpose of coaching and mentoring in the development of people, and as enablers of delegation and empowerment. The mutually supporting skills of coaching and mentoring will be discussed within the context of situational leadership.
Examine and use a range of simple but highly effective coaching tools, methods, and concepts, including GROW (Goal, Reality, Options and Will do). We will identify a variety of coaching tools that will appeal to people with different preferences.
Apply principles of positive psychology to energise and engage colleagues. Consider the impact of positivity in optimising individual and team motivation. We will discuss how coaching can be used to support the motivation and engagement of individuals and teams.
We practice taught skills in a safe and supervised environment.
