MPR: Coaching for Engagement

The Coaching Development Plan is a form for identifying coaching strengths and challenges, and making plans to address individual needs. It is designed as a self-directed exercise shared with a manager for support.

The topic of learning and development will come up in any coaching relationship. The person being coached will often ask about taking classes and going to workshops. This document offers individuals additional options beyond traditional training for skills development.

Learning the GROW coaching model can be expedited through this practice worksheet, which can be used as pre-work for a training module or as homework following a coaching workshop.

A key benefit of participating in a coaching workshop is learning structured techniques for key components of coaching. The SBI model for providing feedback is an easy-to-remember process that can be implemented quickly and consistently.

This version of the self-assessment is formatted so that the prospective coach is forced to rank the topics in order of strength. It prevents participants from rating themselves highly in each category, instead focusing on challenges they might not have considered.

The Coaching Quick Guide supports the Coaching for Engagement slide deck  as a take-away that reminds participants of the best practices and tools covered during the workshop.

The slide deck for this workshop is designed to teach and reinforce basic coaching techniques as part of an overall process. It includes tools that help new coaches increase success rates and support the people they are coaching.
