Stop Managing, Start Coaching ! (A 2-Day Workshop in affiliation with Fissure Inc.)
Workshop Description: If you have been keeping up with business publications lately, you have heard about coaching. Is it just the latest fad? Or, is there some substance to it? Actually, coaching is an important skill you can learn and utilize to help members of your team perform at a higher level of proficiency despite an ever-changing business environment.
Coaching is the ability to bring out the best in people. It is empowering people to be creative, to utilize their own internal resources and ideas to get the job done. Coaching is not “command and control”, it is not acting as a benevolent dictator (haven’t we all worked for someone like that ?). Rather, it is the art of asking powerful questions and using powerful language so that the person being coached will come up with answers for him or herself. The focus is on helping your team members be accountable, resourceful and enthusiastic while getting the job done.
This interactive session will cover the six main aspects of coaching. We will blend proven coaching techniques and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to create a dynamic learning environment. The emphasis will be on developing skills to motivate and empower people, creating high performing teams.
