The Project Coach: Create Learning Environments and Empower Team Members with Lisa DiTullio

What You Will Learn

Upon completion of this training, learners will be able to: 

  • Describe what coaching is and what it is not, and compare the differences between coaching and mentoring.
  • Identify the skills that managers need to be effective workplace coaches.
  • Explain how to structure a coaching session with team members to enhance their development and performance.

Description

Business coaching has evolved from fad to fundamental. Adopting coaching techniques into your everyday interactions creates learning environments and empowers team members to develop new skills and competencies so everyone can keep up and adapt in constantly changing environments—exactly what is needed in our world of rapid change and unrelenting challenge.

Successful coaching is based on asking rather than telling, on challenging rather than giving directions, and by holding a person accountable for results. Join this training to acquire simple coaching techniques to get the best out of your team while getting stuff done.
