Effective coaching helps people think for themselves, suggest solutions versus complain about problems, and take responsibility for their actions. Leaders often think they are coaching but what they are really doing is giving orders and/or doing the work for the team. Helping your team stay focused, productive, and motivated is as important for them as it is for you.

This interactive session will provide a structure to get you started on a path of effective coaching, a model to do skill transfers that stick, and activities to practice what you learn. Leaders recognize the benefits of a growth mindset, and the insight tool measures their general orientation to how they view other’s potential to grow.

In this workshop, learn how to recognize and nurture the potential within others to grow and change; build a coaching relationship based on trust; guide, inspire, support, and empower in the moment; and ask questions, connect at a human level, and energize into action.

The class, led by Molly Reichard, Culture Development & Training Specialist, NWIRC, will take place on Thursday, August 31, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Education Council’s Coudersport office at 5 Water Street. The cost is $299/person. For more information or to register, visit www.nwirc.org/events, email rkeller@nwirc.org or call (814) 217-6068.
