Overview
This course recognizes the shift from traditional, directive management towards a more developmental, coaching-oriented approach. You’ll explore why coaching skills are essential for managers, how they differ from mentoring or managing, and what real benefits they bring to team performance, motivation, and growth. Through structured theory-based lessons, you’ll learn to integrate coaching techniques naturally into everyday leadership situations—whether during one-on-ones, performance reviews, feedback sessions, or career conversations.
Throughout this course, you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of what coaching is (and isn’t) in a managerial context.
- Learn how to use the GROW framework to guide structured, productive development talks.
- Discover why asking the right questions is more effective than offering ready-made advice.
- Develop strategies to support employee growth, motivation, and accountability.
- Find ways to turn difficult conversations into opportunities for learning and connection.
- Strengthen team trust by demonstrating curiosity, empathy, and respect in every interaction.
Each module concludes with a concise multiple-choice quiz to help you consolidate your understanding of key concepts and application logic. The course is designed to be supportive, professional, and practical, making it ideal for busy leaders who want to develop coaching skills that lead to real results. By the end, you will be equipped to foster a team culture where growth is guided through questions—empowering your people to think, reflect, and excel.
