Management and Leadership

Creating a Coaching Mindset for Motivation and Change

---

• 1 day(s) Duration

Executing a successful business strategy is linked to an organization’s understanding of what drives results. People perform best when their leaders can articulate the current state/situation of their organization, what’s being asked of them, and how success is defined and measured. When the critical drivers of its business model are clear, the organization can turn its focus towards analysis and improvement opportunities. Change is hard work. While an organization’s success is measured by its ability to deliver results, coaching is a process that facilitates productive changes designed to bring improvement results through understanding the business drivers.

This can be done through the creation of a conscious and structured relationship that is focused on learning, improving, and delivering results. A coach can help guide, create, and monitor processes for individuals and teams to take purposeful actions in achieving goals. This interactive, “hands-on” program provides leaders the opportunity to learn and apply coaching tools and techniques in a safe environment. Participants will watch and experience being coached, learn new skills, and become familiar with the benefits of coaching. The use of coaching has been recognized as a means to support and sustain successful organizational change.
