1 THE HEART OF COACHING CREATING A COACHING CULTURE FOR OUTSTANDING RESULTS BY GEORGE FOO

2 INTRODUCTION The world is changing. We have 4 generations working alongside one another in workplaces around the globe. We need communication and coaching skills that support our deep need to be part of the organization to which we give our life energies. The Heart of Coaching has been created for people who want to enhance their leadership effectiveness by becoming a coach for the people whom they have the privilege of leading. Change the traditional way of thinking of oneself as a BOSS OF people to being a COACH FOR people. In this program, we describe a proven, comprehensive, and systematic roadmap for holding emotionallyintelligent coaching conversations. When leaders and their teams use this comprehensive toolkit, they establish egalitarian, mutually supportive, coaching partnerships that transcend the bosssubordinate relationship into a mutual coaches-partner relationship. Coaching can be learned and, to the degree it is supported by top management, it will become a way of life part of the culture. This is what is possible: In a COACHING CULTURE, all members of the culture courageously engage in candid, respectful coaching conversations, unrestricted by reporting relationships, about how they can improve their working relationships and individual and collective work performance. All will earn to value and effectively use feedback as a powerful learning tool to produce higher levels of personal accountability, professional development, high-trust working relationships, continually-improving job performance, and ever increasing customer satisfaction. This 2-day workshop provides the toolkit needed to take this journey into high performance. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this challenging skill development program, the learners will be able to: See how coaching fits into the contemporary leadership models Understand what it means to become an effective coach Make the critical distinctions between criticism, feedback and coaching Learn 5 specific ways one can coach others based on common situations Assess one s personal coaching competency and create an action plan to improve Create an implementation plan for immediate action and impact with your team
