Courageous Coaching 1:1 Coaching
www.brodypro.com
It may not be easy, but coaching is necessary to make individuals and teams more successful, and, ultimately, get results. Coaching is more than giving feedback and advice. Our definition of “coaching” is … Saying the right thing and asking the right questions to the right people at the right time, in the right manner. Being “courageous” is offering coaching when it isn’t easy or comfortable.
Marjorie Brody’s “Courageous Coaching” 1:1 coaching program addresses the four reasons why managers say giving coaching to direct reports can be so difficult: Fear, Time, Assumptions, and Don’t know how. These interactive coaching sessions will help attendees eliminate these excuses. Marjorie will provide coaching models, and the chance to practice them, so they can be applied to your environment.
