Course Overview
This course is ideal for anyone in a management position who needs to mentor and / or coach people to perform better. This is a performance coaching and mentoring skills course and is relevant for new managers or managers wishing to refresh and up-date their skills in this crucial area of performance management. The days of autocratic leadership are over and managers need to understand how their people are motivated to act, how they like to be managed, developed, empowered, recognised and rewarded. Coaching is not just for sports people and if delivered with skill, ensures peak performance from each and every team member. Mentoring is the best practice approach to share knowledge and skills and to develop someone beyond the confines of a training programme. The course will be fun, challenging and fully interactive and supported by presentations, demonstrations, interactive discussions, debate, group work and individual tasks. A comment on role-plays…. you won’t be made to perform or made to feel uncomfortable at any time. You will of course practice coaching but not on the stage and not in the spotlight. This is about great learning with like-minded professionals in a fun environment!
