Personal Coaching An Overview

Henley Management Group

Slide 1

Personal Coaching There are many good training programs available from many excellent presenters. Yet, most training participants do not experience personal change and are unable to transfer most of what they are exposed to into their workplace, job and personal lives. Why? Seminar, workshop and classroom based delivery approaches do not allow enough practical application - enough follow-up and enough time. Henley Management Group

Slide 4

After Training Participants tend to return to former or “old” behaviours in favor of those to which they were exposed in training unless follow-up practice is used to support mastery and internalisation.

Slide 5

Some Key Training & Development Issues Facing Organisations Today • Increasing need to train and develop staff and managers - not just functional skills, but broader contextual skills and knowledge; • Training time is at a premium - today’s lean organisations cannot afford to have employees away from their job at training sessions for long periods of time; • Training & development activities must be effective - there is not the time or money to do it again. Henley Management Group

Slide 6

What is Personal Coaching? Personal Coaching is a distributed training and development method where individuals regularly interact with and are accountable to a personal coach for an extended period of time, to achieve agreed learning outcomes.

Slide 7

Personal Coaching • Personal Coaching is a process that contributes to both the learning and performance of individuals and organisations; • Personal Coaching concerns itself with encouraging the kind of understanding that produces not only behaviours but also learning that leads to worthy performance; • Coaching alerts us to the shift from mere training to learning in the workplace; • Is founded on the principles of experiential learning. Henley Management Group

Slide 8

Personal Coaching • Involves private discussions between a client and a professional coach for the purpose of creating positive changes in client decisions and actions; • This is done in parallel to and at key stages as the client progresses through “Personal Coaching” based training and development materials. Henley Management Group

Slide 9

How does Personal Coaching Work? Participant receives materials to support Personal Coaching based development program. Completes pre-work and faxes to coach. Typically 8 14 modules per program

Coach contacts participant, initial orientation. Participant works through one module of program materials (approx. 1 week duration). Coach telephones participant at a pre-agreed time for telephone based coaching session. Henley Management Group

Slide 11

Coaching - The Time Factor • One of the key strengths of Personal Coaching is time; • It allows sufficient time for participants to think about, practice and internalise what they have learnt; • Coaching Programs typically last from 8 to 14 weeks; • They are supported by program materials participants work through between coaching sessions. Henley Management Group

Slide 12

Benefits • Has been shown to be more effective than traditional approaches, in cases where behavioural change is a key issue - ie. application of new skills and knowledge; • Reduces the amount of time required away from work - much of the work can be done outside of work hours; • Is more cost effective than attending seminars and workshops etc. Henley Management Group

Slide 18

A perspective on leadership ... • Most leadership theories in existence today, have not been reconciled against the behaviour and performance of actual leaders in the workplace; • Henry Mintzberg, Fred Luthans, Kim Cameron and David Whetten are the only leadership researchers who have used field based observation of leaders in action to identify the elements of good leadership. Henley Management Group

Slide 19

What was found .. • Good leaders are good in three key skill areas: – Management skills (ie. good leaders will also be good managers, but the opposite in not true); – Self-management and personal skills; • Are good at managing themselves and are good role models; – Interpersonal skills • Deal well with others.

Key findings and implications ... • Leadership is skills based! – That is, effective leadership behaviours result from the application of the various leadership skills; • Skills can taught/skills can be learned: – Leaders are made not born. • Charismatic leaders without skills do more harm than good.
