Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
261 tools for coaching in one course: 173 ready-to-use question lists, scripts, templates, procedures and checklists, 76 models and methods, and 12 services and apps shown on screen.
Open a lecture, take the question list or the script, use it in your next conversation.
Why advice does not work
A manager sees the answer and gives it. The employee nods, does it once and comes back with the same question. Advice solves today's task and leaves the person where they were. Coaching does the opposite: the person finds the answer, so they own it. This takes a structure for the conversation, good questions and the habit of listening, and none of that comes by itself.
What changes after this course
You open a conversation with a clear goal and a structure. You ask questions that make a person think and you can stay silent while they do. You give feedback that is heard. Your 1:1 meetings have an agenda and end with a step. You know when coaching fits and when the person needs a mentor, training or a direct instruction.
What is inside: 261 tools, counted lecture by lecture
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
I started to study coaching in 2010, when I became a manager with a team of six or seven people and wanted to get better at it. The programme was 40 hours, once a week for 10 months, and then practice. I first used the tools on myself, then with other people, saw their results, passed the exam, confirmed my hours and received a professional coach certificate in April 2012.
