Coaching has become a part of people's development plans or agendas. Coaching allows leaders and team members to focus on an issue or skill that needs to be improved, as well as cultivate trust in one another. So, coaching benefits both leaders and team members. The impact is always positive, as they can engage in meaningful and productive dialogue, which strengthens the team bond and increases productivity at work. If you are a manager, leader, or professional who seeks to learn how to conduct a coaching session effectively, join us in our online public training on coaching excellence: Making a Difference with Meaningful Dialogue.

Leaders: The Key to Effective Coaching The best coaching happens when you take the time to observe your team in action. First-hand observation gives you the insight needed to coach for skill development, improve performance, and address limiting behaviors. But what if you can’t observe directly? In those cases, guide your team members through a debrief. Help them reflect on the task by asking: • What went well? • What could have been better? • How can you apply these insights moving forward? Coaching is most effective when it's built on clarity and reflection, whether observing or debriefing.

A recent client told me that they read that wanting to be coached is more important than having a coach. As a result, I discovered this article about how to know if you're ready to be coached. There is a lot of good advice and direction in this HBR article if you're thinking about offering coaching to your employees, or you're considering working with a coach yourself. #leadershipcoaching #leadershipcoach #coachingleaders #coaching #leadershipandrisk #leadershipdevelopment #courageousleadership https://lnkd.in/gZVBVM_U

Some healthy reflections about coaching and preparation for it.

We invest in executive coaches often and generously. We pay attention to ‘fit’. How often to we give real space for the question and the honest answer of whether someone really wants and is ready to be coached? Think about it. Your manager approaches you and says ‘we are excited about your future’ or ‘your going places if we work on one or two things’, can you really say no thank you whether you are ready to be coached or not?

🚀 Excited to announce that I have completed the "Managing as a Coach" from UCdavis! This program has significantly enhanced my understanding of effective coaching techniques and how they can be applied to management. Thanks to this course, I am better equipped to foster a supportive and empowering environment for my team. I'm looking forward to implementing these strategies to boost productivity and job satisfaction.

Coaching skills are essential to influencing meaningful change in your organisation because they allow you to bring out the best in your team by encouraging their growth and development. During our Coaching Skills For Leaders course you will explore the OSCAR coaching model. This will help you understand what a 'good' coaching conversation looks like and you will have the opportunity to practice applying it to a real life work challenge with your peers in your live classroom. This is a structured framework used to guide individuals through the process of personal or professional growth. It consists of five key steps: 1. Outcome: Define the clear, specific goal or result the coachee wants to achieve.  2. Situation: Assess the coachees current situation to understand where they stand in relation to their goal.  3. Choices: Explore the different options available to the coachee.  4. Action: Develop a concrete action plan.  5. Review: Regularly reflect on progress, learning from both successes and setbacks.

If you're someone who holds a leadership position, you've likely heard about professional coaching. But maybe you've been hesitant to try coaching with those you lead simply because you may not feel confident in your skills to coach others. Coaching is a conversation to support colleagues to become more self-aware and effective. It is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. It's not just about setting goals, but about understanding why they are important and finding the most effective path to achieve them. Whether it's personal or professional objectives, coaching can help those you lead gain clarity and overcome the barriers that stand in their way. Many of their barriers to accomplish their goals are not external. They are internal—having to do with their limiting beliefs, emotions, and fears. As their leader, you can provide them a safe space to explore their internal barriers through coaching. Together, you can discover what is needed to empower them to break through and reach their fullest potential. So, now that you have a better understanding of what coaching is, perhaps it's time to empower your team to face their internal barriers and accomplish what truly matters.
