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.
