A Coach Approach to Work Performance Feedback
Summary
Note: This class meets in a highly interactive online format on four mornings, July 21, 22, 28, and Aug. 4 from 9:30 a.m.- noon.
This specially designed class will focus on the how-to’s of adopting a coaching style for giving work performance feedback. The overview of how this style emerged and its benefits will be very brief — meaning this is a class for leaders and managers who are ready to learn this approach and who want to understand and practice the key elements to utilize them right away. We’ll explore how to handle your own potentially strong emotions if the coaching becomes difficult, and what to do if the recipient reacts defensively. We’ll outline when and when not to use this approach and how to flex between a range of performance management strategies. The third session will focus on case studies, video example analysis, practice, and role plays. The fourth session will be a chance for further debriefs, discussion and personal case analysis.
