Manager as Coach is a one day workshop where managers can learn how to coach their people. Learn core coaching skills that will drive success by inspiring and developing each individual on your team, boosting employee engagement.

Why coaching?

Businesses are learning that developing talent is not optional, it is a business necessity. There is now an increasing expectation that line managers will coach their teams.

Learning and personal development is essential when it comes to improving the employee experience. Research has shown that when you provide your employees with opportunities for growth, you will be rewarded with boosted employee engagement, and increased staff retention.

The aim of our Manager as Coach workshop is to teach managers how to equip their people with the tools, knowledge and opportunities to develop themselves. That's what good coaching is all about!

Coaching doesn’t need to take a great deal of your time. If you invest five per cent of your energy and focus on coaching your people you will yield healthy returns. When it's done well, coaching brings a number of benefits to the individuals being coached, the managers doing the coaching, and the organisation overall.

What will we work on during the Manager as Coach workshop?

• Get to know a little bit about the history and development of coaching
• Gain a shared understanding of the value and benefit of coaching in the workplace for you as a leader and manager, for the organisation, and for the people you coach
