Coaching for results

The aim
Coaching for results is a comprehensive training resource that will help turn managers in to effective coaches. Combining drama, documentary interviews and a real-life coaching session, the package demonstrates how to coach successfully by developing a set of simple listening and questioning skills and applying them.

About the program
Strong coaching skills are invaluable to any business. Through effective coaching, managers can encourage and motivate staff, change attitudes, bring in new ideas and increase job satisfaction. Coaching for results presents a three-step model to enable your mangers to introduce a coaching culture into your organization by:
-Introducing the problem in a non-threatening way and exploring the use of cause and effect questions
-Drawing out a solution for the individual being coached, and checking understanding of ideas.
-Agreeing a follow up plan and setting review dates

The resource video expands upon this three-step model and shows coaching in practice. Three short programs examine:
-Coaching Skills ' which employs humor to show how coaching differs from other, apparently similar, people management skills.
-Coaching Live ' a fly-on-the-wall documentary that illustrates successful coaching in real life.
-Making a Case for Coaching ' Brooke Bond Foods has successfully introduced a coaching system in its production plants. By empowering staff to solve their own problems, the time taken over completing a vital task is cut from two days to two hours!

The benefits
Shows that by setting clear objectives and following key principles, the managers in your business will have all the necessary strategies and resources to implement an effective coaching culture.
