Coaching Through Change

Live Training Accelerator Session

Management of complex organisations which are subject to internal change is a major corporate issue and potentially an enormously rewarding field in which to become involved. Some coaches who niche in executive coaching specialise solely in issues arising from change issues within organisations.

The "Coaching through Change" live training day examines different models of change, and the most effective ways to coach through change situations. Overcoming resistance to change can be a significant problem within businesses. Many employees, whether comparatively junior or senior, can find change an enormous threat. Employee concern about change can become a vicious spiral, the perception sometimes being worse than the reality. There is a real danger of change leading to a demotivated workforce, which is disconnected from the organisation’s vision for the future.

The emphasis here is on the coach’s role in helping to implement change. By bringing an understanding of the forces at play in change situations coaches can have a significant impact in improving the process of organisational change. Key aims for the companies that you will work with include the need for change to be both successful and sustainable. Typically the work you would undertake in this area would involve coaching through the reactions to change of a number of individuals, helping them to overcome resistance, the pain of change and drive into the new era where new competencies may need developing.

A great corporate coach can be an essential facilitator coaching through change during this difficult process, and the coaching through change Accelerator Day will leave you with all the necessary tools to undertake powerful coaching in this area.
