Coaching as a Management Style (1 day)

Coaching is an effective tool for managers who need to get the best from people. Based on a ‘GROW’ model, this course shows how individuals can be supported to develop their own solutions to both personal and organisational goals. It is a process that will enable people to deliver really challenging outcomes.

Aimed at both leaders and business owners with a need to move an individual forward, it is particularly useful in times of significant change.
