Coaching for Engagement & Performance (CEP) Certification
This course is not about how to coach. Instead, it gives you a scalable, actionable framework to build coaching skills and abilities into the fabric of your organization.
Course Introduction
This course is not about how to coach. Instead, it gives you a scalable, actionable framework to build coaching skills and abilities into the fabric of your organization.
Your organization needs managers and leaders who use coaching skills to empower employees to achieve goals. But does it give those managers and leaders the tools and knowledge to coach effectively? Does it hold them accountable for the impact coaching has on teams and the business?
This course is not about how to coach. Instead, it gives you a scalable, actionable framework to build coaching skills and abilities into the fabric of your organization, transforming the manager-employee relationship and driving measurable business results.
The business impact is real. HCI research has shown that, year over year, organizations that effectively leverage coaching realize higher revenue growth than peer companies that don’t embrace coaching. By equipping employees with the tools and knowledge to respond, problem-solve, and adapt in real-time, managers and leaders realize tangible benefits such as improved team functioning, increased engagement, faster leadership development, and increased productivity.
