Coaching and Mentoring: Coaching
Overview:
This Coaching course teaches participants how to establish a coaching relationship with employees, evaluate employees' personality types, and detect morale-building motivators. Participants also learn about the factors that can hinder an employee's willingness to trust, and how to establish trust with the CARE process.

Participants will also learn how to differentiate between performance goals and long-term goals, implement an appropriate reward system, and monitor employees' performance.
Participants learn how to use appropriate language during a coaching session, recognize factors that can distort a message, interpret employees' nonverbal communication correctly, ask the right questions, conduct effective face-to-face meetings, and confront an employee.
