Coachee Readiness

Delivered via two, 2-hour workshops, Coachee Readiness aims help potential coachees understand what coaching is, how it helps people learn, the benefits this gives in terms of personal performance, and what they might get out coaching for themselves as individuals.

This enrolment process means that when managers start to coach, they are less likely to meet resistance and more likely to find that employees are willing and able to engage in collaborative, focussed coaching conversations to improve their personal performance. In principle, coaching will then become embedded more quickly, allowing for more rapid performance improvement across the organisation and a quicker return on investment. The content is presented on slides with tutor input. There are several paired / small group discussions, and some paired coaching exercises. Individuals also complete a unique Readiness for Coaching questionnaire which gives an indication of an individual’s openness to being coached, and what they might choose to do to become even more ready for coaching.
