Coaching Skills for Leaders and Managers

00

Tuesday 21 November 13:00 - 14:00

Most leadership experts agree that leaders and managers would benefit from learning more about psychology. It is usual practice that people are promoted to leadership roles because they are technically good at what they do but it requires energy, effort and courage to deal with the emotional, psychological and human aspects of running a business or leading a team. Psychology is not the "soft" stuff, as it is often called – it's often the hard stuff for people newly promoted to a leadership position who have no training in people management. 

This webinar will introduce you to the psychology which sits behind the practice of coaching, and the reasons why coaching is effective. Presenter Kim Morgan, CEO of Barefoot Coaching Ltd, will share a few simple and easily applicable coaching techniques which will help you to motivate, support and lead your teams, and to develop your own range of leadership behaviours. The webinar will cover:

  • Why coaching works
  • The attributes of a leader as coach
  • The key skills of coaching – listening, powerful questions and asking vs telling
  • Understanding the impact of stress and the counteracting impact of attention
  • The Impact of the direct line manager's style on engagement and performance
  • Several effective (and easy to use)  coaching tools to increase motivation, enable change and overcome barriers
