 ATDps: March 2019 Seattle Chapter Meeting


THE COACH APPROACH: Leveraging Coaching to Improve Performance


EVENT DESCRIPTION

Whether in the role of coach or client, use of the key skills of coaching (effective listening, asking powerful questions, and providing direct feedback) can lead to greater performance through its focused, goal-oriented approach. Regardless of the type of coaching, how it’s used, or for which industry, the customized nature of coaching is ideal to move a “coachee” from the current state to a desired future state as measured by the goals set within the coaching engagement, in turn raising the performance and engagement level of the client as well as that of the coach.

This interactive session will provide tools and job aids for your tool kit, whether you have experience with coaching, don’t know anything about it, or are somewhere in between. Bring your questions, curiosity, and open mind to start leveraging coaching in your work for greater performance!

After the session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe and apply the three key skills of effective coaching;
  • Implement a coaching process for increased performance; and
  • Evaluate performance through the use of coaching.
