 Everyone these days is talking about “coaching.” But do your employees understand what “coaching” really means? More importantly, do they practice it regularly? The workshop is organized into four sections. Sectionone helps participants understand their own coaching style, “read” the needs of others, identify the learning styles of others and set the climate for coaching. Section two focuses on how to assess alternative coaching methods and determine when and where to coach. Section three tackles how to create the time and opportunity to coach and find opportunities to build relationships. In four, participants will learn how to encourage communication and feedback, develop a long-term monitoring plan and review and adjust as they go.

Featuring John Cleese The Going to a Meeting series is an engaging two-part program hosted by John Cleese (that's right...he's back). The series focuses on the attendee's role and how to make the most of meetings. Free Preview - Part 1, Messing Up a Meeting The two part Going to a Meeting Series in based on a group of middle managers in a large hospital. Part 1 - Messing Up a Meeting, focuses on Jeremy preparing to go to a regular meeting with his colleagues. Unfortunately "preparing" doesn’t describe what we see him doing. "Grabbing a few papers and turning up late" would be more accurate.
Free Preview - Part II, Menaces Part II of the Going to a Meeting Series, Meeting Menaces, contains five short sequences, introduced by John Cleese. These show how to cope with colleagues whose behavior stops meetings from getting results. Jeremy fails to handle the destructive behavior of each of the menaces and the meeting they are all attending becomes a farce. These two videos are available separately. Package Contents: Two 20 minute VHS Videos or DVD's, Series Course Leader's Guide, Series Delegate worksheets on disk, Series Powerpoint slides and Series Self-Study Workbook on disk
