INTRODUCTION

This Spotlight is one of a series of Spotlights to support the Institute’s ‘Coaching Conversations’, an accredited Institute of Leadership and Management product that recognises coaching both as an invaluable tool for any leader or manager, and for developing your ability to support your colleagues in the workplace or those you may meet in a voluntary capacity.

This Spotlight provides a transcription of ‘Good Coaching Sample’ (0:00-2:50), which demonstrates how, by using a purposeful conversation, the manager/coach invites the employee to focus constructively on an issue of performance.  

He works with the employee to help him identify what in his behaviour needs to change, to manage multiple demands on his time, and what support he needs in order to achieve the change.
