Coaching Skills
While the idea of coaching is relatively new in organisations, it’s been around for a long time. Think of the best athletes in golf or tennis or track – they all have coaches to help them improve and strive to be the best. Football teams, basketball teams, and hockey teams have coaches. There are coaches for voice or drama, and coaches who help people with job or life change. It doesn’t matter in what field the coach operates, their key role is to help someone to improve what they are doing. This booklet aims to help people to become more effective coaches and help all “would-be” coaches to progressively improve their performance via a range of practical techniques. Rapid Skill Builder Series Team Briefing Booklets are short, sharp and succinct resources provide best practice thinking on a range of key topics and are currently available in 40 titles. They are designed to provide a practical method for improving skills and focus on explaining the main steps in the process. On the back page of each booklet, a template illustrates how the process fits together for practical and immediate application.These resources can be used in many settings, including: staff meetings or other group gatherings where time is limited and you want to discuss a specific skill or topic; pre-course work (to provide a brief and practical introduction to a topic); one-on-one or group coaching; self development; any other situation where a practical best practice process is required and time is limited. This series is also available in e-learning and t-learning formats. Inquire directly with the publisher at www.od-center.org.
