A Supervisor is an essential force in any organization. You have a powerful effect - good or bad - on the productivity of the people who work for you. You are the crucial link between the employee on the shop floor or at the desk, and management. Employees look to you to meet their job needs, and even some of their personal ones. Both groups require your leadership to get the job done.

This workshop will enable managers to understand how to review and build the context, strategy, culture and processes for coaching and mentoring at a senior and strategic level. It will provide an opportunity to understand what coaching and mentoring involves and the impact it can have on performance. It will also focus on developing more self-awareness by exploring managers’ values, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills as well as their communication skills, so as to assess and develop their abilities as a coach or mentor.
It aims to examine the competencies required to explore how to get the most out of coaching and develop strategic approaches for individual and team transitions. The workshop will examine how coaching can be used effectively to assist individuals to adapt to sometimes difficult and challenging work environments and how managers can use coaching techniques to develop pragmatic approaches that lead to identifying solutions and embracing opportunities with more confidence. Participants will have an opportunity to have a short coaching session with the workshop facilitator.
