About This Programme

Performance Coaching Skills Training — Build the Capability to Coach Performance, Not Just Manage It

High-performing organisations do not rely purely on instruction, pressure or performance management processes — they develop managers who know how to coach performance effectively. Most managers are promoted for technical expertise and expected to develop people without the coaching skills to do so. The result is dependency: managers solving problems for employees who never learn to solve their own.

This full-day programme gives managers and team leaders the practical coaching skills, GROW model framework and real practice they need to improve employee performance, increase accountability and build a team that owns its results — using realistic workplace scenarios throughout.

Programme Outline

Full-Day Performance Coaching Skills Training Programme

Morning Session
Understanding Performance Coaching, Core Frameworks & Coaching Skills

Managers define performance coaching and how it differs fundamentally from managing, advising and mentoring. They apply the GROW model to real performance situations, then develop the two core skills that unlock employee thinking — active listening at depth and powerful questioning — with structured practice throughout.

Afternoon Session — Part 1
Feedback, Goal-Setting & Coaching Difficult Situations

Managers practise delivering feedback that motivates rather than deflates, co-create SMART goals that drive real accountability, and apply a coaching approach to underperformance, resistance, low confidence and attitude-based challenges — with role play and structured debrief throughout.

Afternoon Session — Part 2
Building a Coaching Culture & Personal Action Planning

Managers identify the specific management behaviours that shift teams from dependency to capability and commit to three concrete coaching culture changes. Every delegate leaves with a personal coaching action plan — specific commitments to change in their very next performance conversation.
