What This Workshop Delivers

During this workshop, participants will:

  • Learn the concept of Behavioral Units (BUs) – how to break up a skill into its smallest behavioral units and practice those units in increasingly difficult situations.
  • Review the Behavioral Units (BUs) learned in the coaching workshop (Q-stepping, playbacks, split tracks, SOON funnel) and the feedback workshop (micro-yes, deblurring/giving data, sharing impact statements, checking perception, joint problem solving, and gaining commitment).
  • Self-evaluate skill levels in each of the above areas.
  • Spend 90% of the workshop practicing. This includes practicing stepping into a questions mode/curiosity mode even when feeling defensive, watching videos of coaching done right and wrong and applying the learnings, practicing the ability to notice common feedback mistakes and correct those feedback mistakes just in time, and learning how to handle difficult feedback issues such as triangulation (when you hear about a performance issue but didn’t observe it yourself).
  • Discuss and resolve common challenges and sticking points as a group

After this workshop, participants will know how to:

  • Be able to solve everyday problems more efficiently and effectively.
  • Consolidate and embed CORE Part 1 skills.
  • Feel confident in their ability to solve difficult scenarios and handle difficult conversations.
