As HR Professionals we have a clear imperative to support our respective organizations achieve strategic goals through people. But how people are LED is often the differentiator that impacts how effectively goals are met.

Do you want your leaders to stop managing and do actual leading? Do you want your leaders to do less TELLING and more ASKING? Do you have any leaders that believe they need to make all the decisions and take all the actions?

Do you want to provide your leaders with some practical tools to COACH for results (and learn some new skills for yourself in the process)?

Then attend this program, and you will get:

• Practical coaching tools that improve communication, accountability, and performance
• A structured coaching framework that can lead to clearer commitments and stronger execution
• A "coach approach" model you can adopt that builds trust, collaboration, and engagement across teams
• Guidance on how to help your leaders strengthen leadership presence and influence 
• A coaching model you can readily apply 

Prework for the program:

• Think about something happening in your work - or LIFE - that you would like some coaching on yourself!

Still thinking whether you want to attend or not? Consider these stats:

Where do you want to take your organization?
