Coaching is not a luxury

As you've probably noticed, I've been up to my elbows in re-designing and launching my Coaching for Excellence course. 

If you supervise, manage or influence others, this course is for YOU. 

This course helps people-leaders provide the clarity, connection and consistency to their team members that is absolutely necessary for people to thrive at work.

And yet…

As I've talked with clients about their needs and about the class, I have heard a few say, "coaching is a luxury. What my managers need is HARD SKILLS." 

This caught my ear. "Tell me more…" I said.

"My supervisors need to know how to SUPERVISE. They've not yet mastered the art of managing performance or setting priorities." 

"Go on…"  

"They really need help delegating and creating accountability, and they have strained relationships with their team members, so coaching doesn't really make sense."

This is where it gets difficult for me to hold my tongue.

You see, COACHING is a set of skills that assists with ALL of the above. 

Effective coaching includes…

• Setting clear goals and priorities
• Addressing barriers and providing support
• Creating lines of accountability and follow-up plans
• Listening actively and with empathy
• Addressing performance issues swiftly and effectively
• Aligning goals with career aspirations
• Building trust
• and so much more!

And in our upcoming Coaching for Excellence course, we are also including a whole segment on engaging your team in the coaching process to wildly accelerate your results!

I'm sure you can see now that when I hear someone claim, "coaching is a luxury," it sounds like a manager saying, "understanding my employees and guiding them toward our shared outcomes is optional."

And we all know that's just NOT TRUE. 

If you want to be an effective supervisor, manager or people leader, you need to master these core skills: 

1. Getting clear on what is supposed to be done. Priorities and goals are KEY!
2. Engaging your team in the energetic and on-going pursuit of these goals. Blasting through barriers and making measurable progress is your mandate. 
3. Being consistent in your approach. Be it weekly, monthly or quarterly, establishing a habit around coaching your team will enhance all of your other efforts. 

Let's cut to the chase...
