Course Description

About the Course

Coaching has many uses in organizations, and the sequence of coaching activities is similar in all of them. Assuming, of course, that coaching is part of the organizational policy.

The course on The Key Stages of Coaching will involve learners in the process of discovery, goal setting, action planning, and follow-up that distinguishes coaching from other development methods.

Course Target

This course is for anyone in an organization who has a role in improving the performance of co-workers, keeping in mind the fact that coaching is not solely a top-down activity.

The Instructor

My name is Sorin, and I will be your instructor. I have been working as a manager and trainer for the last 10 years, and I used to coach young professionals.

And, the plan is to share with you what I have learned from my experience, and to pass on what I have learned during my training, a while ago.

Course Structure

There are 3 stages of coaching to learn: preparing to coach, structuring and delivering coaching sessions, and following up on the coaching session.

Course Objectives

After completing the course, you will be able to determine which coaching opportunities exist within a given scenario, use appropriate techniques to persuade a coachee that coaching is needed, and identify examples of the appropriate actions to take when planning and preparing for a coaching session.

After completing the course, you will also be able to understand the benefits of applying a structured approach to coaching, identify the elements of SMART coaching goals, establish the reality of a situation, evaluate development options in a coaching session, and effectively wrap up a given coaching session.

Thank you Sorin for delivering a well-structured, and well-designed course. Each concept explained is immediately followed up by an organizational practical role play (conversational style) scenario. The best part is that it directly connects theory to practice.

By Front Ina on 8/16/2020

This is a good course for the beginner. The basics described in a very simple and clear way

By Joao Patricio on 7/30/2020

I enjoyed Sorin as an instructor. His presentation of the course material was clear, concise, and informative. The only complaint that I have about the course, is that some of the videos were choppy, out of sync, blurry, or the video just didn't work.

By Rre Elijah Litheko on 5/6/2020

The step by step process focusing on preparation and the need to support the coachee was very helpful. Also critical is the need for the coach to understand the situation that the coache's is at, at every face of the coaching process, avoid making assumptions and being distracted from the goal of coaching.

By Tim Rees on 9/25/2019

Basic, but a good foundation for me to start thinking about more coaching courses. Also, some ideas to apply immediately.

By Diego Casales on 1/11/2019

I have actually been able to get every very important skill and knowledge that I hope I was lacking in coaching. I loved the course teaching model, Sorin is much experienced and very engaging, he uses the real world examples which definitely showed how exactly things work out in the business world.

By Bartek Kaczka on 10/14/2016

I am planning the start up of an automation and controls engineering company. I have very little coaching, and I have found this course is shedding light on concepts and obstacles, that I wasn't aware existed. It has helped me envision the first steps I need to take to start building the business I want.

By Leoni Fabrizio on 9/4/2016

Taking this course is a must. I got tremendous value out of it and I cannot be more grateful than that. The program is well produced and extremely carefully organized. Every lesson, key point, strategy, example, and action step makes sense.

By Edina Halmi on 7/24/2016

hank you for providing this basic management training, wonderful. Hopefully we will be able to achieve strategic goals in company performance by having reliable human resources to meet the needs of agencies in terms of quantity and quality.

By Nitin M on 10/7/2015

The course is comprehensive at a fairly basic level. Good value. There are a few minor details related to production, alignment of text and voice, proofing, etc. that could be improved, but overall I'm happy with the ROI. Thanks!
