Specialist two-day workshop

W4 – Coaching and Mentoring for Technical Leaders

Presented by Richard Huber PhD and Thomas W Smith

As an exception, this specialist two-day workshop coming out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will run on the 28th & 29th May.

AM Council Members, $1,950, Non Members $2,250

Most organisations are experiencing a turnover in leadership. This turnover is especially challenging in technical organizations, where the role and expectations of the individual engineer differs considerably from the role and expectations of a manger. In addition, many organizations have put off the development of their managerial pipeline, and now face a need for rapid development of new technical managers. Coaching and mentoring plays a significant role in developing new talent, but the skills needed to be effective in this area are not always obvious. Fortunately solid proven methods exist, which can be learned and practiced.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Diagnose the leadership development needs of others and apply the appropriate direction and support
  • Use a common language for coaching and developing others
  • Use effective coaching techniques to improve the performance and morale of others
  • Demonstrate how to successfully partner for performance with your team and others

The price of the workshop includes the two-day course and one year access to additional materials that can be used to transfer the lessons to the workplace. Rick provides this online support through a follow up web conference and through personal correspondence.

This coaching course will become a useful tool in your coaching toolbox. Please click here for the full brochure. 

 

A separate registration in addition to your AMPEAK registration is required to attend W4.
