Coaching the Uncoachable

They’re opinionated. Moody, Defensive. Lackluster in their efforts.

As leaders, we’ve all encountered people who seemingly resist every approach we attempt to make at coaching and mentoring them. And these frustrating experiences usually leave us asking the question:

Am I doing something wrong or are these employees just uncoachable?

Most likely, coaching can be successful. But we all have employees that make our task of coaching a lot more difficult. And it is far easier to let them hover above the bare minimum standard than actually TALK to them about improving.

But, the longer we put off this task, the less productive that employee will be. And worse, their attitude is often contagious. Negativity and poor performance begins to seep into your entire staff.

How do we effectively nurture and guide these employees before the problem becomes too big to fix?

First step: Tune into “Coaching the Uncoachable”. This one-hour audio presentation will cover:

• 7 important reasons successful coaching matters in any organization
• The 5 steps to kick off a coaching relationship successfully
• What you need to bring to your coaching role to be most successful
• Identify the barriers to coaching success and how to overcome them

You’ll learn best practices to help you ensure that your employees, formerly thought of as uncoachable, become valuable contributors to you team.

This powerful training audio presentation will help guide you in dealing with poor attitude, contentment with the status quo, a lackadaisical approach to your company’s mission – whatever it is that is getting in the way of your team reaching its potential.
