Workplace Coaching & Mentoring (ILM UK)
With organizations becoming more employee-driven and empowered employees seeking greater responsibilities, it is clear that the practice of coaching and mentoring is an essential function of every manager and team leader in the organization. This workshop aims to focus on the basic premise that every manager/supervisor/team leader should function as a coach. Coaching works at every level and in all organizational relationships. The goal of coaching and mentoring is to improve the performance of individuals, teams and ultimately the organization. Coaches are able to pose challenges to their coachees to raise their performance standards and become the best they can be. “Coaching is an activity designed to improve performance and coaching in the workplace must involve turning work situations into learning opportunities as this is increasingly seen as an important part of what it is to manage”. Sir John Whitmore
High Impact Presentation Skills
This course is for those who make numerous presentations requiring them to sell their ideas and influence. Hard work, good ideas, and information are important for success, but often we are also required to convince others to support or execute our ideas. Although there are many similarities between the two, business presentations are different from public speaking. In a business presentation, you have to influence your audience to ‘buy’ your ideas and take action. Experience shows that knowledge of the topic alone does not ensure that the audience gets our intent or is moved to action. Clear thinking and clear presentations are equally important in a good presentation. This practical module is designed to help learners improve their ability to make presentations that are creative, dynamic, and highly impactful – all of which will influence any audience to accept and implement the ideas introduced.
Negotiation and Influencing Skills
In life, you don’t get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate for!’ The word ‘negotiations’ can conjure up images of conflicts, confrontations, and ‘win-lose’ – all images that give the impression that negotiating is an intimidating process. However, if we think of negotiating as a meeting where people discuss issues, influence one another and iron out differences to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution, then the idea of negotiating is no longer intimidating. The process of dialogue and communication is a skill every manager should possess to achieve successful outcomes.
