Course overview
Turn your poor performers into your stars!
Congratulations! You're so good at your job that you've been promoted to a management position.
But now you're suddenly expected to automatically know...
* How to empower people who you know have plenty of ability but just can’t seem to produce results.
* How to re-inspire members of your team who used to be really good performers but appear to have 'quietly quit'.
* How to help your team excel in a post-pandemic world of work that is changing at a faster rate than ever before.
So, this course is for you if...
01
You and your team have demanding KPIs and targets and you need to have conversations that focus on performance.
02
You want to make sure that your people have the motivation to do their best work despite the inevitable pressures of working life.
03
You want to help your people develop the resilience necessary to cope in an environment on near constant change.
At the end of the course you'll be able to...
Empower your team to solve their own problems
Imagine one of your team sits down across your desk and with a weary sigh begins to outline the latest problem. You’ll now have a method for guiding that person to come up with their own solution so that you don’t have to be involved and they get to develop new skills.
Navigate difficult conversations with a simple framework
Imagine it’s appraisal time and you’ve got to sit down with your worst performing team member. Now you know how to coach you’ll be able to gradually develop that person into one of your stars.
Achieve and exceed your targets regularly
Imagine what a highly coached and capable team can do for profits, customer relations, quality and innovation.

Meet your trainer
Matt Somers
I’m Matt Somers and the management and development of people has fascinated me all my working life.
Over the years I’ve helped numerous leaders like you adopt a coaching approach, teaching them the tools and techniques they need to coach their team to get results.
Because it's you, not an external coach, who is best qualified to develop your team to high performance but, like most managers, you may never have been trained to coach properly.
I have more than 20 years coaching experience which I’ve channelled into my published books and into my work with leaders at companies like AXA, Citigroup and Toyota to create a unique approach for people just like you.
Course syllabus
01
The Coaching Equation
In this module we'll uncover some of the many reasons why some people just can't seem to coach their team to high performance.
I'll help you understand exactly what coaching is and what it isn't and uncover why other approaches may make performance problems worse, not better.
02
The three key principles of coaching
Cookie cutter approaches to coaching tend not to work because they can't cope with the sheer diversity of people we meet at work and their unpredictable ways of behaving.
But once you understand these principles you'll have the freedom to coach in a way that matches your preferred leadership style and be free from any rigid structures.
03
The GROW questioning sequence
It's no secret that much successful coaching lies in an ability to ask powerful questions that challenge your people's thinking and lead them to new insights.
But, what questions? In what order? And what do you do with the answers?
All will be revealed in this module!
