Performance Coaching Skills

One Day

Coaching is one of the most important acts of leadership. Successful managers recognise that to get things done cost effectively they must ‘grow’ people to their full potential. Outstanding performance must be drawn from every member of the team. This requires clear direction, feedback and improvement advice.

We often hear record-breaking athletes say ‘I owe it to my coach’. That’s because however talented they are, athletes need a coach to improve their performance and competitiveness.
Annual performance appraisals and quarterly reviews are not enough. Organisations need to create a culture where coaching and feedback occur as a routine part of each day.

Being less of a boss and more of a coach is fundamental to modern management. Urging people to do better will not work unless they know how to do it better.

This innovative one day programme explains a structured approach to coaching which is effective whether participants are working with a new recruit or seeking improvement from an experienced player.

Good coaching builds trust and a collaborative climate between manager and team. The process involves breaking tasks down to their component parts, helping people improve performance in each element and enabling them to pull these elements together to achieve the desired effect.

The program is perfect for managers, team leaders and professionals at all levels who want to become effective at coaching others
