Coaching for Generative Leadership:
Strengthening Leaders, Teams and Organizations
This multi-component program is for managers interested in expanding their leadership skill-sets, strengthening their teams and investing in shared success through use of a coaching approach. 1) Level I Training The Level I training program introduces participants to the why, what and how of coaching as a management tool, and provides an easy, enjoyable and step-by-step way for participants to begin integrating coaching into their management practices. Over three days, initial practice with foundational coaching skills leads to their use within a three-step coaching process and application to workplace scenarios. A core component of this program is peer coaching. Participants are invited to take turns ‘wearing the coaching hat’ to think through organizational issues and initiatives together. This kind of peer-to-peer practice offers individual and organizational benefits that extend well beyond progress with initiatives and coaching skill development. When peers ‘put on the coaching hat’ as thinking partners and provide mutual support for progress on issues and initiatives, they open the door to new learning and new relationships. As relationships and cross-functional understanding improve, so does leadership-level coordination, teamwork and trust. Additionally, the practice of peer-to-peer coaching develops each person’s ability to think beyond their own division or mindset. By cultivating a broader view of issues, people are better positioned to bridge stakeholder differences, find more strategic and innovative ways forward, and step into higher levels of leadership. 2) Coaching Practice Group Developing comfort with the role and skillsets of coaching as a manager requires practice over time. Following completion of the Level I course, the Coaching Practice Group provides a structured six-month process to encourage, support and reinforce practice with skill development. When coaching practice partners are peers, the individual and organizational benefits that accompany this practice will continue to deepen and naturally reinforce integration of the practice into how people operate 3) Levels II & III Training For those who are ready to move beyond the basics, Level II training introduces intermediate-level practices through which to deepen core coaching skills, and Level III introduces more advanced-level practices. Both programs expand the set of tools, distinctions and methodologies through which participants can build awareness and facilitate new action. The content that is presented can be selected through discussion with the client to ensure relevance and fit. For example, organizations that have completed training in the Generative Leadership of Teams may wish to focus on coaching through the phases in the Cycle of a Promise, or on a coaching approach to resolution of conflict. The length of each advanced program can vary based on how much content the organization elects to cover. To ask a question or to talk with us about options, please contact us:
