New Webinar! Effective Coaching Skills

Posted by Coaching SkillsNo Comments

We are excited to announce our upcoming webinar!

Event Date: 5/17/2018 (2:00 pm EDT- 3:00 pm EDT)

Coaching team members is one of the most under-valued responsibilities of managers. It’s something they feel they do simply by talking with a team member and asking how he or she is doing in their job and giving appropriate “Atta-boys” or “Atta-girls.” Of course, this is very important and it’s sometimes referred to as “emotional nutrition.” However, it’s not coaching in the sense of skill-building and professional development for the employee.

True coaching is one of the most powerful methods of motivating employees, broadening and improving their skills and increasing their retention. It requires a separate set of skills that positions managers as teachers, advisors, and career counselors.

Participants will learn

  • What coaches really do
  • How to set good performance standards and goals with employees
  • How to communicate more effectively using Personality Styles at Work™
  • Directive vs. non-directive coaching- which approach to use and when
  • The most important principles of adult learning principles
  • Methods of skill-based teaching

How to Make Your Team Successful

Posted by Coaching Skills, Communication Styles, Corporate Team Building Games, Corporate Training Materials, Human Resource Training, Team Building Exercises, Teamwork GamesNo Comments

By Kelly Roach

You’ve heard it so many times before, that “teamwork makes the dream work.” Now, you have your team place, but you are still not seeing the results you want. You know you need to learn how to make your team successful.

Sound familiar? In my recent video, you will learn some quick tips on how to make your team successful, build a winning team, retain that team, and make them world class in everything they do.

How to make your team successful:

Tip #1: Invest in your team’s success

What your team truly wants is to feel like you have as much commitment and drive in helping them to succeed as you have for them in the goals you’ve laid out for them.

Your team wants to see that you have faith in them and that you are willing to go the extra mile to help them succeed.

Tip #2: Have a roadmap for success

You need to provide your team with clear directions, specific strategies, and a play-by-play game plan that can realistically help them to achieve the goals you set out for them.

Show your team that it is possible to achieve these goals and provide them guidance to reach them.

Let them know that you are there to help them grow and develop. Tell them you are invested in their success just as much as you are invested in your own success.

Tip #3: Have checks and balances

Make sure that you have checks and balances and that you are inspecting what you expect in real time. Give your team a set of accountabilities that they are measured to frequently.

This will help to show your team whether they are on track with their goals.

Tip #4: Give feedback

Provide your team with both constructive and positive feedback based on their performance and do it regularly.

This will help you to grow your team, make them better, and give them a better affinity towards you.
