Overview/Description
Coaching is a vital component of any business that aims to be a winner in the new economy. However, unless coaches are clear in their own minds exactly what their function is, and why they are performing a coaching role, they may do more harm than good. Therefore, it is important to understand how coaching originated as a business tool, and the ways it impacted traditional managerial attitudes and behavior. This course ensures that those responsible for coaching will know what their roles are, and thus be better placed to unlock the potential of individuals and teams, to maximize performance and effectiveness, and enhance personal satisfaction in their own work.

Target Audience
