Chamber Workshops – Coaching your Team and why it Works

Written by on .

Coaching has become the buzzword. There’s usually a reason for that because it works! We employ people because they have the skills to do the job and then micromanage them and wonder why they get disaffected and leave. Coaching recognises that people have the answers within themselves. This results in happier people and happier workplaces (and more productive too)!

The workshop will cover the following:

  • What coaching is
  • Why you should take this approach – why your business should take a coaching approach 
  • Why you should take this approach NOW – why your business should take a coaching approach NOW (ie in a post-COVID-19 world)
  • Why it works in business (as well as at home with the children)!
  • The power of coaching and a strengths-based approach
  • Who benefits from having a coach
  • Some coaching techniques and tools to get started
