Coaching & Communicating for Performance is a highly interactive program that provides supervisors and managers the opportunity to build skills that will enable them to share expectations and set objectives for employees, provide constructive feedback, more effectively engage in learning conversations, and coaching opportunities.

This program is for individuals in a management or supervisory position and consists of four one-day workshops and learning project work in small groups. Prior to the first session, participants will complete the confidential online Strengths Deployment Inventory. Between sessions 1 and 2, participants will have a private, confidential debrief of their results and coaching meeting with a facilitator.

Session 1 – Understanding Yourself, Understanding Others

Instructor: Jackie Lauer, Jackie Lauer Consulting Inc.

According to a 2007 issue of the Harvard Business Review, self-awareness is the most important capability for leaders to develop. Knowing your internal states, preferences, resources, and intuitions allows you to plan actions and develop proactive behaviour. When you understand yourself you are more likely to understand others.

Focus of this session:

• The rationale, principle, and skills for performance planning, assessment and development at the University of Guelph
• Recognizing one’s emotions and their effects
• Knowing one’s strengths and limitations
• Recognizing one’s assumptions and judgments

There is a fee of $60 to participate in this program. This fee covers the completion of the online Strengths Deployment Inventory. Upon completion of the inventory, participants will receive a personalized report and will be invited to a one-on-one debrief session to review their profile report. Due to the costs associated with delivering this program we ask that you cancel at least 2 weeks prior to the first session. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation penalty of $60 that will be charged to your department.

To register for the complete program you only need to register for the first session.

Program session dates for Winter 2020 are: February 13, February 27, March 12, and March 26.
