Course Outline

Defining Coaching

  • Establish a clear understanding of what coaching is and how it is applied
  • Connect the discipline of coaching to enhancing individual and team performance, as well as analyzing and correcting under-performance
  • Understand how shared learning can be easily translated into a "commitment to action"

Coaching Models

  • Introduction to the GROW model
    • G = Goal: The purpose of the discussion or the changes the individual or team wishes to achieve
    • R = Reality: An honest assessment of the current situation and the necessity for change
    • O = Options: What can be done to achieve that change; what other options exist; is there anything else…?
    • W = Will: Is there the desire to see this through, or will one of the other factors—Goal, Reality, or Options—prevent the achievement of change? How will progress be measured?
  • Consideration of all factors required in:
    • Transforming vision into reality
    • Delivering measurable outcomes
    • Making effective decisions
    • Managing change
  • Introducing the House of Change: understanding the need sometimes to make things worse before they can get better

Becoming a Successful Coach

  • How does a coach behave?
  • What actions does a coach take?
  • Understanding the need to remain separate—detached—from the details and only contributing individual comments or suggestions at appropriate times
  • Coaching performance from individuals whose day-to-day work we don’t understand

The Link with Performance Management

  • Objective setting – understanding what is required
  • Managing against these objectives – understanding what success or shortfall looks like
  • Recognizing (and correcting) under-performance; particularly recognizing the causes of under-performance (which may be nothing to do with the individual’s workload)
  • Coaching and Feedback: links and differences

Coaching in Practice

  • Facilitated coaching sessions – initially in a group environment to allow targeted feedback; then in coaching pairs – to put into practice the models which have already been discussed.
