Summary
Effective coaching is an essential skill for all managers and leaders especially when change has or is about to occur. This course teaches professionals to use a model of coaching that can improve the outcome of any conversation including the more challenging ones. Using these coaching skills will save you time and energy, produce positive changes of behaviour and increase levels of accountability, motivation and performance.
