Why would you want to become a Top Coach?

In a recent survey conducted by the Gallup organisation of one million managers across 40 different countries, they showed a strong correlation with effective performance management of people and

Retention of talent
Improved productivity
Reduced absenteeism
Accelerated development
Enhanced morale

2. As an international manager or leader of people a good grasp of coaching gives you the edge in terms of your own performance as you will achieve enhanced results through working with others across distance, cultures, different functions and nationalities.

3. You will see, hear and feel the difference as you will transform the people in your business.

How could we deliver this Programme to you?

Your first contact will be with a JS-International top coach by telephone, this is a real opportunity to:

• learn about the content of the programme
• determine and clarify your needs
• talk through with you some pre-work
• answer any concerns you have

Our aim is to tailor our programme to meet all the participants' needs. As such we will be asking you to bring your issues to the programme so that we can operate with "real plays" rather than "role plays".

The programme involves lots of practice. This is done, as we have said, using your own issues. We also do some fun exercises to encourage you to experiment with your own coaching style. We demonstrate coaching ourselves and work in small groups to give personal feedback to every participant.

The programme is normally run over 3 days.

What will happen when you attend the Top Coach Programme?

When you attend the programme you receive a Top Coach Coaching tool-kit and a Top Coach Certificate when you pass the practical test (this is a coaching session conducted in front of one of JS-International's top coaches) and a short written test.

You become one of an elite cadre of international managers who are highly skilled in coaching - a real Top Coach.

Many top companies utilise coaching and value coaching as a key tool for leaders and managers of people. In the past successful coaches have helped people be more productive and make better use of their time, improve their own leadership style and communication, achieve ambitious goals at work and attain a better balance in their life. Additional personal benefits are enhanced prospects for salary increases (as you achieve better results), more constructive relationships with people, reduced personal stress and greater compassion.

"In the past, it may have been sufficient for managers to deliver the numbers and close the deal. Today the definition of leadership at IBM is broader than that. You lead programmes and projects, of course. But you're also in the job to lead people, build a team, coach, and create a culture of high performance."

Lou Gerstner, Chairman of IBM
