Coaching and Boosting Performance with Carlene Szostak
What You Will Learn
Upon completion of this training, learners will be able to:
- Identify their personal communication and coaching style.
- Describe their strengths and weaknesses and those of others, using personality analysis tools such as True Colors®.
- Successfully identify personal and professional motivation or drivers, allowing them to lead rather than just manage projects.
Description
Project management often involves coaching team members who are not as experienced or skilled in their trade as one would hope, in addition to working collectively or even collaborating for the best team output and project results. The point of failure for many unsuccessful project executions is often individuals who lack critical skills, forcing the project manager or other team members to undertake most of the work individually.
Incorporating True Colors InternationalTM material, learners will understand the distinctive ways in which different personalities approach communication and their individual performance. You will learn how to promote open, honest conduct by understanding and appreciating different communication contributions and approaches. The content is designed to allow each individual to become more effective in building performance, removing roadblocks, and incorporating team member skill building throughout the project duration. In addition, this training will help you acquire critical information and identify the leadership traits necessary to better manage resources and complete projects successfully.
Attendees will be asked to complete a True Colors International™ assessment during the training, and results will be incorporated in real time in the session. True Colors® is an engaging personal learning tool that uses four colors (orange, gold, green, and blue) to represent each of the temperament/personality types. The cost of the assessment is included in the training fee.
