Goals
It is usually the biggest challenge for aspiring coaches, especially those who are also managers, to stay one step behind their coachees, to be with themselves and at the same time with the other person, to ask rather than answer, to show spaces rather than push into (new) spaces, to be present rather than present (themselves).
Contents and Guiding Questions
You will experiment with a set of proven forms of questions and interventions and fill your own personal toolbox. You will begin to understand what the difference between coaching and leading is - or could be even more so - in everyday management practice and gain clarity about your own personal areas of learning and development as a coach. You will not be finished after this seminar (are we ever?), but you will have the tools to become a full-time coach or to add significant value to your employees and your company as a coaching manager. You will have matured personally.
- Coaching process and contract – What needs to be considered when planning, preparing and conducting individual coaching sessions? What are good goal formulations and agreements with coachees?
- Coaching process – How do I develop and validate coaching interventions and measures? How and when do I conclude coaching sessions, planned or unplanned?
- In contact – Which of my attitudes and behaviors promote contact with coachees and have a positive effect on their motivation?
- In conflict – How do I deal with and utilize conflicts with coachees? What might they indicate to me?
- Typical coaching traps – What should not happen to me too often? And if it does happen, what then?
