Coaching Skills for Leaders
If you are interested in a customized 3 – 6 month program for leaders in your organization, please contact RLM for a conversation. Rhonda has extensive experience developing and leading coaching skills programs aligned with organizational leadership competencies and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) competencies.
If you are looking for introductory workshops, here is a general outline. All sessions are customized to meet your context and aspirations.
One and two-day workshops
Research shows that an engaged workplace makes for a great workplace. Engaged employees want to be part of the organization and are willing to make an extra effort to contribute to the well-being of one another, their clients, and the success of the business. But how does an organization engage employees in the first place, and how do you keep them engaged day after day? The answer is effective coaching at every level of your organization.
In our Coaching Skills for Leaders workshop, supervisors and managers learn foundational coaching techniques with an emphasis on three key skills: powerful questions, deep listening, and facilitating action.
Each session is highly interactive and practical, with opportunities for participants to work together and generate ideas. Participants will practice coaching skills, and they’ll develop strategies for taking a coaching approach back to their workplace. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the knowledge and increased comfort level to help employees effectively identify and pursue their goals.

“Attending Rhonda’s Coaching for Excellence Workshop provided opportunity for our
managers and supervisors to hone existing skills and learn new ones. The bonus piece
to the workshop was the team building which was a result of the participatory nature
of the workshop. Rhonda’s professionalism in facilitation, skills in coaching and her
approachability set the tone for an excellent day.”
