Why attend?
Great managers don’t just manage performance, they unlock it.
Yet many frontline managers spend less than 10% of their time coaching the people who matter most. The result? Missed potential, slower progress, and performance conversations that feel rushed or formulaic.
Performance Coaching is a practical, high‑impact session for experienced managers who already know the basics and want to get more value from every coaching moment. No lengthy frameworks. No textbook theory. Just powerful conversations that drive real results.
In just 60 minutes, you’ll learn how to:
-
Turn everyday conversations into performance‑boosting moments, whether you have five minutes or a full hour
-
Focus on what truly drives results, not just what fits the model
-
Create the right conditions for coaching to land, stick, and turn into action
This is coaching designed for the real world: fast‑paced, human, and easy to apply immediately.
By attending Performance Coaching, you will:
-
Understand why great coaching is more about connection than technique
-
Learn the core ingredients of high‑impact coaching conversations, across any context or challenge
-
Practice simple ways to apply these skills naturally and informally, without sounding scripted
The core ideas
-
Coaching works best when it feels like a great conversation, not a process
-
Different performance challenges require different coaching focus
-
Impact comes from combining attention, clarity, and solution‑focused thinking, then translating insight into practical next steps
The science behind it
This session is grounded in robust research showing that the quality of the working alliance, the relationship and conversation between manager and team member, has more impact than the coaching model itself.
The approach draws on research by:
-
Professor Richard Ladyshewsky (2010) on managerial coaching effectiveness
-
Hamlin, Ellinger & Beattie’s (2006) meta‑analysis of coaching behaviours
-
Solution‑focused coaching research by Iveson et al. (2002) and Gingerich & Eisengart (2000)
Who it’s for
-
People managers and leaders
-
Experienced managers who already coach, and want to do it better
-
Anyone looking to increase performance without increasing workload
