10 Steps to Successful Coaching

• American Society for Training and Development -- Greater Philadelphia Chapter

Coaching is a burgeoning field. An explosion in the coaching market in recent years highlights the fact that the work environment continues to be complex, fast-paced, and pressured, and that employees at all levels can derive value from personalized, skilled help delivered in a structured, safe, one-on-one situation. Additionally, the number of people turning to life coaches outside of work demonstrates a new level of acceptance for seeking help to get more out of life. Membership in the International Coach Federation has increased from under 4,000 in 1999 to more than 14,000 in 2008.

Coaching is also a powerful tool to help employees realize their career aspirations. Coaching skills are becoming critical management competencies as organizations prepare a new generation of leaders, using fewer financial, human, and training resources. When managers and supervisors master the art of coaching, their relationships with their direct reports are strengthened – and that often translates to increased company loyalty and enhanced motivation among those reports.

During this interactive workshop, attendees will participate in coaching exercises from the “10 Steps to Successful Coaching”. Participants will experience what coaching can be and its benefits while dusting off their own innate coaching abilities.
