Deep dives

Overview

If you use the ‘Coaching moments’ webinar as a quick dip, then follow up with the deep dives for the full immersion experience!

These sessions expand on how to get the most out of the coaching moment and how to develop and use each of the four key skills.

Learning objectives

These sessions are designed to help managers:

  • Make the most of ‘coaching moments’
  • Refine their use of the four key coaching skills
  • Get some skills practice in a supportive environment
  • Just do it!

Audience

Senior leaders, line managers, team leaders – anyone whose role includes responsibility for getting the best out of other people.

And that includes HR BPs!

Format

These sessions work brilliantly as one-hour webinars but we can also run them for you as ‘bite-sized’ workshops. Either way, we recommend a maximum of 12 people per session.

Delivery formats are flexible, but whatever format you choose we do recommend doing all five sessions – they’re best as a series, not ‘one-offs’.
