Recent Coaching Clinics – January 09, Thunder Bay
Donna, Janet and Bill are just back from delivering a program to a 21 person in tact team of ServiceOntario.
Live and post course evaluations confirm that the program was extremely well received, with repeated comments attesting to the real value of the 7 practical coaching sessions, conducted over the two days, “… the coaching practice was the best.”
There are two keys to successful back at work adoption of any new learning. The first is the participation and personal endorsement of senior leadership. Second, is a formalized process of support and practiced application when participants return to their real world. Leadership, committed to make a change ensures the former and the Coaching Clinic provides the framework and tools to facilitate the latter. It is our observation that both these factors are abundantly in place in Thunder Bay.
Beyond Possibility is confident, with leadership’s sustained involvement and support that this new style of communication will stick and reap improved business and interpersonal results, within this unit of the Ontario Provincial Government.
How effective is the communication within your team? Is it emotionally charged or calming and constructive? Is the environment trusting and forgiving or does “what’s wrong” get all the air space? Do your team members comfortably speak to “as it is” or do they retreat to silence and fly under the radar? How does Feedback work in your workplace? Does it occur at all?
It is the contention of Beyond Possibility that in operating environments where leadership’s intentions are clear, where language is non judgemental or accusatory, that relationships grow stronger. With more effective dialogue, trust is built and as a result the team grows stronger and results get better. How’s your team doing? Consider the Coaching Clinic as real business application to improve your team’s performance.
