Webinar Abstract

Event Type: Webinar

When: Tuesday 1st December 2009

Cost: US$700

As one of the pioneers of mentoring and coaching, David Clutterbuck takes a very pragmatic view of their role in supporting both individual and organisational performance. In this webinar, he will explore how HR can extract greatest value from investment in coaching, through a combination of different approaches, including one-to-one coaching (using  both internal and external resources) and team coaching.

Among issues he will address are:

  • How team coaching differs from both team facilitation and team building
  • When and how to use team coaching to improve team performance
  • Critical competences of team coaches
  • Why sports analogies have very limited application -- and can be harmful
  • Why line managers can coach, in spite of claims to the contrary -- and what are the conditions that allow them to be effective in this role
  • Why and how 70% of externally resourced executive coaching is poor value for money; and what you can do to ensure you get real value from the executive coaching you do buy in
  • The most common myths about coaching
  • How to measure the effectiveness of your investments in coaching
