Great class, lots of good information. Have a better understanding of coaching vs. mentoring!
An excellent course for both those who’ve never been a coach and for those looking to improve their skills. Each lesson builds on the previous with excellent discussion and videos!
As a military retiree, I definitely fall into old autocratic habits. This course helped me understand the need to coach mote and direct a little less to enable team members to develop toward their goals and for me to understand how to align their goals with the organization’s.
I enjoyed the video clips selected as examples, it was a nice touch.
Always stellar information, real world examples, enthusiastic delivery, techniques that are practical and results driven!!! Thank you Dr. Arrington!!!
As a team lead, I can see that this will benefit my staff and myself enormously. I really appreciate the questions list and am eager to start 1 on 1s and make them productive. Great class.
There’s a difference in being the boss or in charge and being a leader…they are NOT the same. This helps those who may not understand the difference…understand the difference!!
It could be the time in the course were it is all coming together but this was the best course so far. Just like the NFL, great teams develop throughout the season, players reach their full potential and Coaching allows that to happen.
Behind the organizational culture course, this is the most practical course in this series. It provides practical and effective strategies for use in our ca=arching development process. Coaching has always had an intimidating aspect for me, but this course has given me new insights and techniques I believe I will try an implement right immediately.
Highlights the objectives to true leadership versus just being in charge!
Learned a couple of great practical insights directly applicable to my organization, e.g. understanding the difference between mentoring, life coaching, counseling, therapy and coaching applicable to our organizational goals essential for me to provide an employee with an appropriate referral in instances that an employee requires expertise outside of my knowledge, skills or abilities in order to become a high performing member of the organization wherever that may be. The approximately 38 minute modules make for better grasping and testing ones comprehension in the quizzes built into the computer based training while still affording a live streamed kick-off and close out sessions to share thoughts, perspectives and major takeaways.
Great information, look forward to putting it into practice.
Great course, recommend to all. Provides great content and insight to assist all leaders with coaching.
The course is full of great information and knowledge on how to be an effective coach in this new virtual/in person environment. I look forward to using these coaching/leadership techniques in my new assignment.
Highly recommend this course. The course is informative, insightful and very well laid out.
Highly recommend this course. The course is informative, insightful and very well laid out.
The Coaching Skills for Leaders course is a very good and informative series of sessions which help to show what is involved with coaching and the different aspects of it to include about Active Listening and Asking Questions to help bring out the best in people and overcome obstacles being faced. The need to share insights, encourage your employees and clarify the next steps in their process is so useful in several aspects of good leadership. Dr. Arrington pointed out about how to develop your own style of coaching using several different methods out there and most importantly to be patient as this will not happen overnight.
I highly recommend that supervisors take this course! Supervisors and managers should be actively coaching their employees and/or teams to ensure that they have high performing teams that are motivated and happy and completing tasks in a timely manner. Otherwise, employees may be under performing or unhappy and could be forced to leave or choose to leave for another job, which could leave the team short handed. I think that using the weekly group meetings or 1 on 1 meetings as formal coaching sessions is a great idea to bring underperforming employees up to speed and encourage high performing employees to keep up the good work. And supervisors should practice active listening during these meetings and not do all of the talking and then wait until the end to ask if there are any questions. So thank you, the course was very informative!
Coaching Skills for Leaders was an exceptional course. This course was relatable on a personal and professional level, I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their leadership skills.
I really appreciated the deal world examples of all the different situations that might be encountered when coaching. I find it difficult to engage with someone who is uninterested or unwilling to initially participate. The practical techniques of how to engage someone despite those circumstances were very relevant and feasible. Also, I love the term “mlrale vampire”.
Makes the case that coaching is a key skill for truly effective leaders. The course contains multiple essential coaching elements, methods, explanations, and insightful tips for continuous development of personal coaching skills. I highly recommend it!
The skills taught in this course are not only useful when coaching, but also when interacting in any relationship. By biggest takeaway was the importance of Active Listening. Would recommend this course to anyone wishing to improve their communication skills!
Thoroughly enjoyed the reminders on how important coaching techniques are to effective leadership. Appreciated the emphasis on active listening and guiding individuals to their own solution vice telling how to resolve the issue.
The concepts / techniques provided in these lessons can be applied to more than just in your professional life and serve as a good reminder when dealing with daily and personal life as well.
This course was very informative. My biggest takeaway was to focus on active listening from now on. Thanks Arrington Coaching!
This was a great course and I will recommend it to everyone.
David Arrington is a very insightful and professional Leadership Coach. His Leadership methodologies can be easily be applied to a manager’s daily workforce operations in order to augment their teams performance and production. Additionally, his Leadership techniques and logical processes are complementary to the skills that many managers already have acquired. I highly recommend taking one of his courses.
