Description:
In recent years, organizations have invested heavily in building coaching cultures. One of the most robust recent global studies cites nearly $3 billion dollars spent annually for organizational coaching initiatives, such as coach-skills training for managers. To maximize the impact of coaching practices and cultures, some innovative and dynamic organizations are starting to add a new catalyst for improvement by investing in the coachability of leaders and the workforce.
Objectives:
- Understand the compelling case for coachability for individuals and cultures to accelerate learning and performance initiatives.
- Gain well-researched and practical models of coachability at the individual, team, and organization levels.
- Capture insight into features, tools, and initiatives critical for building a strong coachability culture.
- Hear the tangible value of implementing coachability initiatives through case studies and stories of organizations utilizing a coachability approach to build their workforce leaders, foster engagement, and maximize performance-related initiatives.
