Coaching Essentials Workshop

Bluepoint programs are extremely well-structured and well-facilitated. The content is top notch and always offers a fresh, engaging perspective. Bluepoint programs consistently are given high scores from our participants and people tell me they have always learned a great deal which they can take back to their workplaces.

Bluepoint staff are always professional and really try to meet the organization and its employees where they are at I would highly recommend them to any organization that wants to create a culture of coaching or support their high-potential staff.

The Workshop: The Coaching Essentials Workshop is a high-impact, training program designed to provide participants with a solid foundation of key coaching principles and the skills necessary to immediately coach others for high performance and career acceleration. It is a highly engaging and experiential learning event in which participants engage in three, live coaching sessions and receive direct feedback on their personal effectiveness.

This workshop is ideal for individual contributors, front line supervisors and early-stage leaders who are seeking to substantially increase their ability to have a positive influence on others.

The Model: The workshop is based on a simple yet powerful 5-step coaching model that can be readily integrated into the day-to-day work of the participants. The model is designed to help the participants learn how to have potent coaching conversations rather than follow a strict, linear process.
