JSW004 - Coaching Fundamentals
Coaching Fundamentals
Coaching has become a bit of a buzzword these days, and it seems like everyone is expected to be a coach, with confusing definitions of what being a coach really is. The power of coaching, like anything else, takes time upfront so you can have big payoffs in the future. The benefits of coaching include improved communication skills, increased confidence, increased productivity, and a better work-life balance. Good coaches let go of control and rather than providing answers - they move to curiosity. Coaching is all about going from the “fixer” to the “empowerer” and helping individuals navigate problem-solving on their own. This workshop will provide you with an introduction to coaching and will help you adjust your approach to interactions in your office and with your staff.
