Managing as a Coach

Coaching Skills for Managers,

Do you (or do you want to) manage employees? Have you ever wondered how to get better performance out of those you manage? Are you unsure if you are communicating effectively with your employees? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this course – and its associated specialization – is for you! Leadership and management responsibilities have changed dramatically, particularly in the last decade. In order to be an effective manager in increasingly fast-paced and complex organizational environments, coaching has become essential. In this course, you will learn what coaching is and learn how to differentiate between it and all of the other myriad roles managers are expected to perform – managing, mentoring, leading, and training. You’ll learn about the importance of strong leadership and learn to describe your current point of view as a leader, and evaluate when to adjust your thinking in order to be more effective in managing and leading in a rapidly evolving workplace. And finally, you’ll be introduced to the Thought Model, a coaching technique you can use to develop better thinkers and better performers. So if you’re ready to learn all about how to be a more effective and valued manager using coaching techniques, join us as we explore more successful managing through coaching!

What people are saying

thought model

The thought model taught in this course is a game changer for learning to utilize a neutral perspective toward any challenges you face at work.

I like this course, it's very useful for us This is a great course where the coach also learns about him- or herself and easily understands how to apply the thought model in coaching conversations.

Quickly applicable with the Thought Model exercise.

I like the assignments and I was surprised with how much we focused on our own thought model and value system rather that external circumstances & people.

Very easy, just a model: circumstance- thought-feeling-action-result; not challenging enough I love and learned a lot from the Thought Model.

bastante bueno el inicio para entender en qué consiste y luego el método que aplican es bastante útil Good description of the Thought Model.

Thought model is interesting, the rest was too high level, that should not be new to a manager.

Very useful tool - Thought model.

With a bit of practise the thought model can be useful tool for every manager and finding positive solutions with employees.

The thought model is especially useful and practical in real management situations.

The Thought Model works like a charm!

Thanks so much Love the Thought Model Kate.

The thought model is excellent in helping to work through issues in the workplace.

The content is powerful if based on simple concepts, such as the thought model Seems very proffessional and the educational level is very welcoming and explained in easy-to-understand words without becoming too technincal with coaching terms.
