support and challenging opportunities to employees. Knowing how and when to
coach is an essential skill that can benefit both you and your organization. This oneday
course will help you become a better coach in all senses of the word.
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what
will take place during the course. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their
personal learning objectives.
Defining Coaching
The first part of the morning will be spent exploring what coaching means (in general
and to participants), reviewing coaching skills, and evaluating the pre-assignment.
Interpersonal Communication Skills
Communicating well is a key aspect of successful coaching. During this session,
participants will explore different communication skills and create an action plan.
Self-Disclosure
Joe Luft and Harry Ingraham developed the Johari windows concept, a way of looking at
our self-awareness and our ability to ask feedback of others. This session will look at the
window and examine how we can use it when coaching.
Critical Coaching Skills
Participants will examine important coaching skills in small groups, including helping,
mentoring, teaching, and challenging skills.
More on Communication
This lecture will examine two powerful, simple coaching tools: asking questions and listening.
Learning Styles and Principles
We learn in three different ways: by seeing, by hearing, and by doing. In a large group
discussion, participants will identify ways to incorporate these methods into coaching.
Benefits/Consequences

About the courses
The workshops are a fun & entertaining learning experience. We highlight skills throughout the course and provide practical information on solving current issues and situations. By applying the information personally to each of the participants we help provide real solutions for each individual.
The way we deliver
We discuss with participants what they would like to obtain from each course. This way the facilitator knows exactly what information will be useful to each individual. It also means each course is custom made to suit the individuals at the course and our participants can learn more at a quicker pace without covering material that may not be required. By learning from each other within the course the participants can take real skills back to the workplace.
