Performance coaching works with individuals to help them identify steps that they can take to develop their competencies for
a) Improved performance in current role
b) Help them prepare for potential new roles or responsibilities
c) Help them deliver in new roles
d) To achieve consistent performance improvement
Example of areas Performance Coaching can be used:
· New to management or leadership role
· Managing Time
· Preparing and giving presentations
· Interview preparation – how to prepare effectively as an interviewer
· Managing relationships – with colleagues, with reportees and with the boss
· Influencing skills
· Managing/participating in meetings
· Networking
In the coaching sessions the coach and coachee look at current problems or challenges as opportunities. They are opportunities to develop greater self-awareness, learn from past experiences, change certain behaviours to help manage the different situations that you are or may be faced with. Using real experiences you reflect on what you said and did and what happened and learn from them. By drawing on your conclusions you begin to develop a new way of managing yourself and the situation. You then put them into practice and again start to learn from these new experiences.
A skill based situation will be identified where a behaviour change or performance improvement is needed.
