Essential Conversations for Developing Others (ECDO-LP)
Next Program: Sydney - 25 October - 28 October 2010
The future success of today’s businesses is greatly dependent on developing tomorrow’s leaders.
Coach U and Corporate Coach U Australasia are pleased to provide the next generation of leadership development in the Essential Conversation for Developing Others program. This 4-day program is designed for internal and external coaches, consultants, trainers, HR professionals, managers and those who wish to gain the tools and resources to have creative and courageous conversations with others.
Now that successful organisations require managers and leaders to focus on developing others to ensure continuity, smooth succession and sustained growth, the skill of coaching conversations can provide an advantage in the marketplace.
The Essential Conversation for Developing Others training will help you meet the expectation of companies and their staff that rapport and development conversations happen directly and every day, not just periodically and via email.
Benefits of Essential Conversations for Developing Others
Essential Conversations for Developing Others (ECDO-LP) has at its core the belief that we can successfully initiate developmental conversations through a coach approach. The program will help you:
- recognise and/or create opportunities for developmental conversations, and
- engage others in creative, courageous conversations that provide people with a learning opportunity (which is much better than doing the thinking for them)
- provide a structure and format for organisational coaching conversations
- maximise opportunities for leadership development
- develop advanced coaching and facilitation skills
Who is Essential Conversations for Developing Others for?
Essential Conversations is for those that are ready to go to the next level with their coaching, communication skills and conversations. Those that will experience the most benefit from this training include:
- External coaches working with executives, business, corporate and government
- Internal Coaches
- Trainers and Consultants
- Human Resource (HR) professionals
- Managers and Executives
After the pilot program in the spring of 2006, one of the participants wrote this note:
“I think the course was nothing short of momentous because of the practice and emphasis on the coaching model, especially the gap. This is my second career…in my former life I was an Air Force officer and, as such, got “oodles” of leadership and behavioural training from situational leadership to Maslow’s hierarchy and many others. Nothing I had during my 20 plus years in uniform came close to the clarity and completeness of what I got between the coaching clinic and developing others.…nothing!”
