Coaching with Confidence

The everyday challenge for managers is about how to get more from their people right now, in a way that seems supportive, effective and sustainable. A confident coach can do that.

A confident coach can over time build the capability of his or her team such that they may fear they have done themselves out of a job! But we know that is exactly the point many managers want to get to, where finally they have the time to plan, think and catch their breath, and be available to their staff in a way they have never known.

If you are a manager who

is tired of telling your people the same thing over and over again
feels the need to stretch your staff a little – or a lot!
watches people get stuck but do not have the time or the energy to be constantly rescuing them
is looking for teams to lift their game
wants to offer a carrot to their movers and shakers but are not quite sure how to do that

….then you need to be able to slip into the coaching role quickly and seamlessly. You need to be able to coach with confidence.

At the nucleus of the Coaching with Confidence programme is a short impact workshop. However what we are offering is more than a day. The learning starts with an introductory telephone call to get to know you a little, and then we work with you on the day of the workshop. After that we will be in touch again regularly, as good coaches do, just to check on your progress, support and motivate you to go forth and coach. All this, and an added bonus of rich online resources and interaction. You can mix and match as you want. Our coaches will be as close as the phone or the SEND button. The learning experience will last for at least 6-8 weeks after the workshop.

At pattillo we know that the best way to learn to be a coach is to be coached – to experience that jolt of reality that comes with a completely new point of view on situations that formerly seemed impossible. This reality is at the heart of our learning experience. An experience designed with busy managers in mind. Contemporary coaching techniques bring an amazingly common sense approach to the big challenges of our day-to-day worlds and make shifts and progress seems not only possible but sometimes relatively easy, and even fun!

This customised course is designed to have participants take a new and objective look at how they think at work, the assumptions they make and the ‘obstacles’ that sometimes challenge them most. People will leave at the end of the day ready to step into the coach’s shoes.

Our high impact practical one day workshop will include the following elements:

Demistifying the coaching process
Getting to grips with coaching - Coaching Questions – what works and what doesn’t
Listening for effective coaching
Solution-focused coaching - practical session and debrief
Practice coaching one-on-one with participants taking on the coach/coachee role using participant examples
Reflection – some key insights about coaching, what it is and what it isn’t
Planning your next coaching steps and applying it in your workplace

So in summary here is what we are offering in the whole Coaching with Confidence package

An orientation telephone coaching session where we get to know you and your needs and start coaching before we meet you.
A high impact one day workshop
Two follow up telephone coaching sessions
A truckload of great coaching resources , articles, webinars , podcasts
