Course Overview

Coaching, as both an industry and an employee development tool, is growing in prominence and importance. Responsibility for coaching is increasingly falling to HR professionals, who can be called upon to coach employees directly, train managers to be better coaches, build coaching capability within the organization, and identify external coaching resources.

In this course, you will begin practicing skills and behaviors exhibited by effective coaches. The course situates coaching within the broader context of employee development, enabling you to analyze workplace situations and diagnose when coaching is an appropriate developmental tool.
