Description
Welcome to How to Become a Workplace Coach: The Fundamentals - the course is designed to help you to understand the basics of coaching and have access to practical coaching tools that you can immediately apply in your operational role.
The programme is divided into short video’s:
We’ll start by looking at the Definitions of coaching. We’ll look at some of the concepts of coaching and how coaching differs from training, counselling and mentoring.
We’ll then look at Management coaching and learn how coaching is applied by managers in the workplace.
We’ll look at the Psychology of coaching and why coaching has such a motivational impact on colleagues.
Then we’ll consider how to break negative belief cycles. How to overcome negative thoughts and create positive behaviours and attitudes.
Ultimately, we want to raise awareness and responsibility in our colleagues so that they become engaged, empowered and embrace accountability.
We will then look at the Core skills of coaching and the practical models available to actual coach colleagues.
We will focus on the The OSCAR Coaching Model in particular and demonstrate OSCAR in practice in a 15 minute video sequence.
Finally, we will look at how coaching can be applied by busy managers in everyday situations and we will facilitate a self-coaching session for you.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in learning how to harness the power of coaching and mentoring
- Managers who want to adopt a coaching style
