Elevate Managers

Elevate Managers to become Coach managers

Purpose of the course:

Create a coaching culture in the organisation:  

Managers are invited to ask incisive questions that empower their staff to think for themselves and find their own solutions rather than to always provide them with solutions.  

  1. Coaching yourself.
  2. Coaching people on the job.
  3. Coaching people formally

Outcomes of the course:

  1. Instant coaching on the job: Managers reframe immediately “victim” vocabulary to “victor” vocabulary.
  2. Self-Coaching for constant improvement:  When under pressure learn how to respond appropriatly rather than to react emotionally.
  3. Coaching others formally using the G.R.O.W model (Goal. Reality check. Opportunities. Way forward).
  4. Access the wisdom of your team: A staff member ask a ‘problem question” to his/her team and get questions, not advices, as feedback.

The staff member will reflect on these questions provided by the team to find his/her own solution.

The Coach-Manager program

10 training/coaching sessions on site of 5hours each (8am to 1pm) with a group of 12 participants.

It is probable that on average only 10 people will participate at each session due to holidays, sick leave and travel or last-minute emergency at work. However, each of the 12 participants will have a buddy responsible to keep him/her updated if they miss one session.

Note: Participants are invited to the program on a voluntary basis.

A short video clip will be provided to explain the coaching program to potential participants.
