Successful corporate coaching is built around a relationship that effectively uses five essential elements. You will be able to apply these five elements to successfully coach others in organizations.

The Coaching Tool Box

There are several key skills and techniques that corporate coaches regularly use in their relationships with others: 10 Powerful Questions, active listening, supportive dialogue, and accountability are just some of the skills that will be practiced in this segment of the workshop. Opportunities to incorporate real-world and real-work situations create the “power of application” that makes this learning session meaningful.

Gaps and Goals

Gaps and goals is a key element to successful corporate coaching. Corporate coaches assist people in setting goals that really matter to them – goals in terms of leadership, management training, new learning, or future career aspirations. A “gap” is the space between where the person currently is and where the person really wants to be. Strategies and actions for identifying goals that matter, discovering the gaps and developing S.M.A.R.T. goals will be taught and applied to real work situations. You will discover the secret to empowered goal setting which results in propelling your coachee to new levels of motivation and productivity.

Practical Coaching

This workshop is loaded with experiential exercises designed to ensure sustained learning and application of skills over a wide variety of situations. You will use tag-team coaching, feedback sessions and role-plays to ingrain learning and build your confidence in how to be a successful corporate coach.
