One-on-One Coaching
Individual development coaching is most powerful as a follow-on to any of our group processes, when managers or employees come in with a new mindset and tools and discuss the specific application of those tools to their particular issues. There are situations that may be inappropriate for discussion in a group setting, and require individual attention. Yet, the group setting has served as a powerful exchange of examples, fundamentals and initial skill-building.What types of additional support have managers requested with one-on-one coaching following a workshop?
- Assistance with their ability and comfort in addressing difficult issues with specific employees, e.g.:
- Persistent performance problems
- Coaching of employees with personality, behavioral, motivation and attitude issues
- Managers want to discuss their own development away from their peers, typically focusing on increasing their political awareness or savvy, visibility, public identity and reputation.
Additionally, one-on-one coaching for non-management employees has been used effectively following workshops. Again, it should be recognized that there are some issues that may be too sensitive for discussion in a group setting.
One-on-one development coaching is also offered without workshops, and may be appropriate for:
- Senior-level executives
- Managers and employees in remote locations
- Sensitive situations requiring individual objective, external support
