Behind the Bench
Workplace coaching and mentoring
There’s a lot of talk about coaching and mentoring these days but not a lot of clarity on what they are and how you can use them effectively. This practical program examines the nature of coaching and mentoring, and how and when to use them. Participants will:
- Understand the difference between coaching and mentoring.
- Understand the management ‘shifts’ needed to be an effective coach.
- Learn several key coaching skills for immediate on-the-job application.
- Identify his/her individual coaching style and its impact on coaching team members.
- Understand the nature of mentoring and common misperceptions about it.
- Identify the mentoring role they can play with their team members.
This program involves a great deal of individual practice. Participants will leave with a set of common and personalized coaching questions they can begin using on-the-job, a coaching action plan for immediate implementation, and a mentoring ‘philosophy’ to introduce through performance conversations with team members.

Powerful Performance Communications
Performance management is much more than a single event that happens once per year – it’s a process made up of collected actions that define an employment relationship over a long period. As managers, you have five key responsibilities within that framework we will examine in this program:
-
How do you translate your company’s business direction into the everyday actions and behaviours of individuals and teams?
-
How do you manage average performers through raising their own bars?
-
How do you engage high performers in maintaining their vision?
-
How do you address low performance in a practical, positive manner?
-
How do you develop an on-going process that works for you and your team?
Through the lens of effective communications, participants will learn several key tools for immediate implementation in performance conversations. Perception checking, audience awareness, and impact of delivery methods will be examined followed by application of learning in case studies and scenarios. Participants will leave with templates for communications planning in a number of different performance situations.
What Keeps You?
Facilitating challenging career discussions
Challenge and a clear career path are among the most important elements in employee engagement and retention. And it’s not uncommon for employees to raise these topics quickly – even during their first week on the job. This program helps you prepare for these career discussions by helping you:
- Make sense of common misperceptions about career discussions.
- Understand why employees stay with organizations.
- Understand the dangers of ‘guessing’ about employees’ aspirations.
- Learn six key questions for positive career discussions.
- Learn how to have difficult career discussions.
- Create a retention and engagement action-plan for your team.
Participants will engage in discussion and interactive exercises for skill building followed by role plays for skill application. Each person will leave with a concrete plan of action they can begin implementing immediately with his/her team.
