Manager as Coach: London

Coaching Skills for Managers to equip managers to coach as part of their role in performance delivery

Designed around the principles of Solution Focused Thinking to equip managers to deliver coaching in a way that is Focused, Action-oriented, Solution-building and Timely (FAST)

90% of organisations now expect their line managers to coach, but only 5% have trained all their managers for the role (CIPD survey on trends in learning and development).

Some managers are instinctive coaches, but all managers can develop the focus and the impact of their coaching by being given clear frameworks and tools to apply to the situations that occur on the job.

The AoEC is introducing a new programme specifically designed to equip managers to coach as part of their role in performance delivery.

This programme is designed around the principles of Solution Focussed Thinking equips managers to deliver coaching in a way which is focused, action oriented, solution building and timely (FAST).

Overview

Who is it for?

• Managers who are coaching staff but have had little preparation for the role
• Organisations who are wanting to develop a cohort of coaches
• Managers who are wanting an introduction to coaching before taking on the responsibility

What does it deliver?
Manager coaches who can:

• Recognise opportunities to coach in the maelstrom of daily working life and grab them
• Deliver coaching outcomes in brief conversations
• Help staff to recognise the resources they can bring to problem solving rather than being stuck with the problem
• Support their staff in thinking through difficulties, and challenge them to see the issue from different perspectives
• Skilfully apply techniques drawn from a range of coaching approaches to a wide range of job related challenges

Structure and style

The programme consists of 2 days of group work in which participants are introduced to the principles and tools of FAST coaching with a focus on practice

At the end of the 2 days participants are asked to identify opportunities to implement the learnings of the programme 'on the job', with a commitment to apply them.

It is a journey in which you initially identify your development needs, then, in conjunction with your faculty and fellow learners – the ‘community of practice’ – you execute your learning plan. Each plan will be different because each journey is different, echoing the journey of the client or coachee.

The learning from the Programme is a developmental journey, where you learn experientially and reflect on your learning as you progress.

You take a great deal of responsibility for your own learning, using the resources, materials and support provided.
