Session 1A
Coaching excellence - what does it mean?
Karen Frost, Values Based Leadership
There's a lot of talk about the benefits of coaching, but what does excellent coaching look like? This session will explore the components of coaching excellence so that attendees can set their sights on its achievement for their organisations.
The session will include a live coaching session by Karen on a volunteer's real life work issue; this will last about 20 minutes and the volunteer will normally have been sourced in advance of the session taking place. This will be followed by an interactive discussion on that session and finally some observations on what to look for in your coaches - including the importance of coaching supervision for ensuring coaching excellence.
