CAUDIT Coaching for Enhanced Effectiveness Program

Coaching deals with employee growth, development and achievement by removing roadblocks to performance and enhancing creativity.

Coaching isn’t counselling and it differs from mentoring too. Coaching enables the person to create and develop their own best practices, connections and resources through either peer or professional coaching.

Using the Coaching Program as a starting point, or as an add-on enhancement to your current training.  Over three or six months this program will utilise a structured approach and the following topics may be used to frame your 1:1 monthly coaching sessions:

• Identifying barriers to effectiveness
• Goal setting
• Solutions to challenges in the workplace
• Action plans 
• Accountability for actions

Your commitment:

• Three or six one:one monthly coaching sessions held over three or six months, exploring concepts and solutions specific to your situation 
• Completion of a templated summary about yourself and your current situation so that you and your coach can hit the ground running and maximise your time in the sessions.
• One group meeting with participant plus your direct manager to map out future areas of focus
• Completion of the LSI 360 degree feedback tool (optional)

One-on-one coaching sessions typically last between 45-60 minutes, are confidential and are held online.   For a structured approach throughout the program, the topics below may be used to frame your sessions:

Alternatively, for the three month program you and your coach may decide to follow an organic approach to your coaching and allow each session to evolve depending on what you want to focus on.

For an enhanced insight into your personal behaviours and styles  you may wish to include the use of the LSI 360-degree feedback tool which gives clear direction on actions to be taken to return different outcomes. The inclusion of the LSI profiling increases the effectiveness of your coaching sessions exponentially.

The LSI is used throughout the CAUDIT Managers Program and is proven to be an extremely effective tool.  You may wish to reach out to your colleagues from the program to seek their views on it.  Visit the CMP alumni page
