WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
 

Ask yourself these questions: Do you allocate enough time and know how to performance manage and develop your employees? Do you manage to retain your valued employees? Do you listen more than you speak? Do you enable your employees to take ownership for their learning and development outcomes? Do you offer fair opportunities for all and an environment where everyone can seek the wisdom of others?
 

If you answer ‘No’ or even ‘Sometimes’ (be honest) to any of these, then this course is for you. It has been designed for those who believe in their own personal development and are looking to improve their quality of management. Our specialist management course has been developed by experienced managers to teach valuable skills, enabling teams to become more efficient, accountable & responsible. The course is designed for new managers or for those managers who want to re-evaluate and develop their management coaching skills.
 

WHY OUR COURSE?

Athena Coaching Solutions have been working to better understand and deliver relevant management training to support businesses across all industries. The role of the manager/leader is simple; it’s a directive, task-orientated style of getting the job done effectively and efficiently in line with a company’s mission, vision, and values. There is also the additional, often overlooked, responsibility of the development of their employees, who are of course an integral part of the success of the company. Personal development should be an intrinsic part of any organisation’s growth and effective managers, adept in developing their teams, are a crucial ingredient in enabling business success and in retaining a competent and motivated workforce.
 

Some managers believe that they are coaching but, very often, they are in fact giving advice and making suggestions (mentoring) or advising and problem solving (instructing/tutoring). Sound familiar? To have ‘coaching conversations,’ managers must first learn to coach and break old habits of being ‘too helpful.’
 

There is, of course, a place when being more directive is required, for example, when a person is new to a task or a situation, when safety factors are involved, when time is of the essence or when facts need to be imparted quickly and accurately but, once an individual is on their way, you want them to take ownership and responsibility to allow them to grow and for your time to be better utilised. This can be achieved through using a ‘coaching’ management style. Our Effective Management Course is designed to equip managers with the skills to adapt, implement and practice different coaching approaches to instil a deeper level of learning and development, more accountability and ownership, and sustainability of change.
 

For managers, coaching is a multifaceted skill that takes practice and regular reflection. There is, of course, a place for instruction and mentoring but coaching requires expertise in coaching, not necessarily the subject in hand. Coaching isn't about giving the answer(s), it's about helping to locate the answer(s). Great coaches encourage self-belief, accountability, ownership, and responsibility which, in turn, creates sustained performance.

WHY INVEST IN TRAINING YOUR ‘IN-HOUSE’ TRAINERS?

Employee development plays a crucial part in any organisation’s growth. The constantly changing global marketplace conditions continue to challenge and the need to invest time to deliver consistent learning and development is paramount to the success of organisations. Effective trainers adept in upskilling an organisations workforce also translates into employees feeling valued and respected for their contributions to the company’s success. The assumption that a well-qualified professional, promoted into a training delivery role, will automatically assimilate the key skills to deliver impactful training, can often be misguided. 

Having well-coached trainers with better skills will help organisations achieve their goals more quickly and efficiently, enhancing organisational culture and the success of a brand. So how can companies give their trainers the skills which will help to increase their overall performance?
