Coaching - Questions...... the catalyst to thought- “Learning is a consequence of thinking. Questions are a catalyst of thought.”
Coaching transforms teachers into successful coaches who can empower learners and individuals to work more effectively together to unlock the synergies of the team. Consequently, creating a coaching culture will improve motivation and trust, increase job satisfaction, and transform the workforce into a successful, high performing team. Using focused participation to explore how effective people managers coach and develop successful teams, participants are encouraged to question their perceptions and beliefs about individuals and to structure feedback and expectations in the context of future potential rather than past performance. Participants will learn how to- adopt new people-management behaviours
- use a coaching paradigm to constantly unlock individual potential
- fully capitalise on the management skills they have learnt
- act as effective coaches with the ability to assess which is the right technique to choose for a particular individual and situation
- develop a performance-focused and performer-centred coaching style that encourages self-responsibility and independence
- spend time helping people clarify positive goals that will lead to the commitment and ownership to achieve them
- structure feedback to create a motivating learning experience rather than a judgemental experience that generates a defensive response
- use a question-centred approach to clarify the learner’s reality of each issue
- Encourage individuals to explore the options in order to develop a choice of possible ways forward.
