Best Practices in Managerial Coaching

March 15    10:00-11:30 am; online
Throughout this interactive online workshop, participants will explore key themes and concepts encompassing many facets for managers to utilize a coaching approach and to discover the tools necessary to support and develop their employees. According to The Association for Talent Development, it is reported that: “Although coaching is an ongoing process targeted at employees at all performance levels—including both high achievers and underperformers—it can also be used in the short-term to solve a specific problem. Active participation is required from the employee being coached. Participants will learn how to create an environment that both inspires and supports employee engagement through coaching, identify when coaching is appropriate, and develop ways of communicating in a coaching manner.
