The Coaching Process for Engaging and Developing Others
Course ID: ILRSM518 Learn to use the coaching process to identify issues and goals in four key coaching arenas and to work with your proteges to build the skills they need for success. |
Description
Leaders who have learned to develop a coaching mindset, studied coaching functions, and practiced the coaching dialogue in The Coaching Mindset, can continue their studies here by examining the coaching process. This course, developed by Samuel Bacharach, McKelvey-Grant Professor at Cornell University, and Yael Bacharach, MA, LCSW, teaches the essential steps of coaching. As in The Coaching Mindset, the authors realize that in the workplace not all coaching approaches are appropriate, and have developed a model process which is uniquely applicable for organizational settings.
The course walks through the process of goal setting in each of the four arenas of coaching; helps you to understand the framing, prioritization, and execution of goals for your subordinates; and addresses roadblocks that appear throughout the coaching process. After taking this course, leaders will understand everything from how to help their protégés with specific work and personal issues to how to leverage coaching to become a high-performance leader within the organization. Leaders will come away with a deep understanding of how to work with their protégés on overcoming blocks and obstacles, providing their protégés appropriate feedback, and helping their protégés with goal setting and skill development. The coaching process specified in this course will enhance not only the leadership capacity of the coach, but also the proactive capacity of the protégé. Coaching is no longer a luxury. It is a tool that leaders must have when trying to get top performance from everyone in the organization. Successful organizations are those that make coaching part and parcel of their organizational culture.
This course will give leaders additional tools for working effectively within their organizational culture and building the proactive capacity of individuals and the organization alike.
