Congruent Coaching: Choosing the Right Approach NEW

We have opportunities to coach people all the time. Much of what we think of as coaching is actually undercover training. Real coaching is richer—offering support while exploring options. In this interactive session, Johanna Rothman invites you to experience coaching, regardless of your position in the organization. Teaching is just one type of coaching. You have many other options, depending on your coaching stance. You may select a counselor’s stance if you are managing up or a partner’s stance if you are a peer. You might even select a reflective observer’s stance or a technical advisor’s stance, depending on the situation. Explore what to do when you see opportunities for coaching but you haven’t been asked to coach. Bring your coaching concerns, whether you are coaching onsite, or coaching at a distance, or coaching one-on-one, or coaching teams. Let’s learn and build our coaching skills together.
