Coaching for Improved Performance

Duration: 3 Days
 

One person helping another to learn dates back to time infinitum. That is, it was originally the only way of transferring learning from one person to another. Today, helping one person to learn, develop skills and improve performance can take several different forms: coaching, mentoring, close supervision, working with a more experienced person or meeting with selected professionals (HCMs, Accountants, MIS etc).

 
This session will explore coaching, mentoring and workplace learning - a blurring of the boundaries: their roles within the workplace, benefits, feedback strategies and monitoring effectiveness.
