I found it very interesting and impactful. The evidence supporting the value of coaching to organizations overall was impressive and I liked how the skills section was distilled into some key takeaways that are easy to remember and take action. I would have liked more on the skills, but understand that was not the primary focus of this presentation.
While there was some good information, I felt that the actual portion of the class devoted to being a better coach was too small in comparison to the other information. Also, the teacher was pretty dry and without any interesting stories or material. I had to keep stopping and restarting the video to keep listening.
This course is great! Very good and I wish they made all managers take this course. I have had 3 managers over the last 2 years. Zero coaching going on in our group, managers are just concerned with themselves and how they can move up and not those below them.
An excellent course that explains the difference between managing and coaching. It describes how good coaching skills build a performance-enhancing adaptive culture, inspires employee accountability and engagement, and enhances your own impact as a Leader.
Pace could've been a bit quicker, but the concepts presented were quite useful. Would like to see a few more examples of these concepts in action. Repeated focus on balance of EQ vs IQ was so key to the overall of value this course.
This course pulled me right in to the subject matter from the beginning. It was highly engaging and easy to listen to; plain, succinct and insightful. Very positive. I'm looking forward to applying what I learned.
I really enjoyed the final section that included tips for how to be a better coach. I would have liked more of the course dedicated to that section and less time devoted the the reasons why coaching is important.
Many good points on HOW to coach well but too much time spent explaining WHY to be a good coach. Chose course so had already bought into WHY. Needed HOW. That said, the objectives were achieved as were stated.
Very good course. A little slow in proving the point for being a good coach but overall well presented. Good use of slides, good pace, well spoken. I would listen to some parts of this course twice.
The courses idea of coaching was different than my original thoughts on coaching. It explained the difference from my original thoughts and provided a process to work on when coaching employees.
I thought this course was informative. I appreciated the focus on the benefits of coaching, but would have liked more information on how to actually execute the coaching relationship.
I thought this was a very practical and informative class, however it would have been even more helpful to have additional concrete examples provided along with the content.
VALUABLE information for both coaches and those being coached. This can be reciprocal information and provide a more open understanding of our leaders and their approach.
Good background material on the potential of coaching. Would have liked some specific examples of the "experiential" coaching techniques recommended by the instructor.
The instructor does not give much examples that can relate in life. This course is entirely to enlighten how Coaching differentiates from Managing and Supervising.
LIKE: The facilitator used examples to explain his point
SURPRISED ME:Left brain and right brain analysis
My managers would benefit as from this course as weel
Right brain vs left brain concepts were interesting. Also the feedback and discovering what others nor the employee know about themself is a new approach.
I think that he gave a good presentation. He could have been a little more up beat in his presentation. It is helpful for those who manage employees.
Excellent subject and interesting material. This course is a good reminder of some important skills needed to be an effective leader.
Instructor is very articulate and organized in his teaching. Materials are clear, concise and contribute to the learning objectives.
This course was very basic. I only would recommend it if someone has never had any training on coaching or performance management.
Learning to be a good coach is important to me. This course provided good information in a short amount of time and was helpful.
The information is great!! There is not a lot of deviation in the tone of the speaker so it can be hard to keep focused.
Great information. I hope more companies and institutions will come to utilize Coaching as a tool to help employees.
Very good examples and information. I thought the points were very interesting and added to my learning. Thanks.
The class made me think about the difference between Managing, Coaching and Mentoring. Very good information.
Great information and insights on a topic that doesn't seem to be discussed or focused on in many organizations.
Enjoyed to course. Was expecting more tips on coaching and not a course on why coaching is important.
The course was informative. I would like a version of the presentation that had more detailed notes.
I thought the course was going to be more about how to coach instead of selling me on doing it.
Instructor gives an in-depth explanation of what is needed on the path to becoming a good coach.
Good information, although presented without any personal stories to make it more interesting.
Would like a bit more about Jahari Window. Curious to learn more, but must go look elsewhere.
