Learn how you can use coaching as a tool to both encourage positive behavior and deliver difficult feedback.
Learn how utilizing coaching methods can enable you to more effectively supervise your direct reports. Throughout the training we will cover four common situations where coaching can be useful and explore five coaching skills in action. Whether delivering difficult feedback or encouraging direct reports to take the next step in their career, coaching can be a helpful tool for supervisors.
Included with your registration is a worksheet to help you assess your proficiency with the coaching skills we talk about and apply new ideas to your everyday work.
10-Minute Recordings for the Busy Professional
We have organized this content into six, ten-minute modules to allow you to view the content in a way that is convenient for you. In each module you will learn about a specific coaching skill and see it applied to a common management situation via video roleplays. Watch the modules all at once or view them as you need specific training.
Who Should Attend
These modules will help supervisors of any tenure create more awareness and action in supervisees. Whether you’ve been supervising someone for ten days or ten years, this series will encourage you to check your assumptions and be curious about your direct reports – which will ultimately enable them to solve more of their own challenges.
Because your access to these resources never expires, we encourage you to include the modules in HR training programs, internal leadership academies, new department chair training, and any programs serving academic or non-academic managers.
