Subject:

Description:

Wilkinsky. Coaching has become a primary tool for consultants, human resources professionals and administrators interested in promoting and sustaining leadership and executive development, behavioral change, and role transition. This course explores the theory and practices associated with organizational coaching. We examine and practice the steps of the normative coaching process,the issues and boundaries that affect coaching, and pitfalls to avoid. Throughout the course, we will contrast what the theory says and what practitioners in the field have actually experienced. Major foci include the critical nature of gathering and using data, observation tools, internal versus external coaching, informal versus formal programs, and coaching for development versus for corrective action. Participants will engage in coaching processes in the classroom and in their own organizations.
