1.5 Core Competency CCEUs
Hosted by ICF Washington State
“A coach approach during 1-on-1s catalyzes more than TWICE the change than non-coaching 1-on-1s.” - Coaching Research Institute.
As a coach, you know how valuable taking a coach-approach is in a variety of situations. Extensive research shows that developing a coaching culture within organizations increases employee motivation, retention, individual performance, and organizational growth. It also grooms the next generation of leaders, helps attract talented staff, and promotes improved customer interactions.
However, what does it take to develop an organizational coaching culture? It is more than just training leaders in the mechanics of how to coach. Learn what else needs to happen to ensure a coaching culture takes root.
In this session we will uncover:
- What is a coaching culture.
- Why a coaching culture benefits organizations.
- Five best practices for developing an organizational coaching culture.
- How workplace coaching aligns (or mis-aligns) with the ICF Core Competencies.
- How participants can use this information in their coaching practice even if they do not coach inside an organization.
