Webinar: The Keys to Successfully Coaching and Developing Staff

Critical Coaching Skills for Improving Staff Productivity, Performance or Professionalism - Sponsored by Wawanesa

Learn powerful techniques to help staff who are struggling with one or more aspects of their job.  Coaching staff is a critical activity for most managers, supervisors and HR personnel.  Coaching is often the first step in addressing a staff issue and it is a powerful tool for developing team members which, in turn, will significantly strengthen the entire team.  While we are generally aware of the importance of coaching, many managers, supervisors and HR personnel are unsure how to coach properly, or even where to begin.

In this session, you will learn how to coach staff properly and effectively.  You will learn how to use coaching to address and resolve staff issues and to develop staff.  You will learn various forms of coaching. But most importantly, you will learn how to improve staff’s productivity, performance and professionalism and resolving staff issues through coaching.

I have talked to a number of managers who were concerned that their attempts to coach would come across as micro-managing.  In this session, you will learn the difference and learn to coach effectively without micro-managing staff.

Likewise, managers often feel that coaching is labour and time-intensive.  In this session, you will learn a method of coaching that can fit into the busy manager’s or HR personnel’s schedule.  And you will learn the powerful 4 steps “coaching on the run” process.
