BU 6353 - Coaching for Managers (3)

This course, based on the International Coach Federation Competencies for Coaching, is designed to help managers improve team performance through the use of skillful language and embodied communication. Students will study brain research that shows how language impacts relationships, communication, actions, and habit development. Students will learn to improve their presence, listening, paraphrasing, questioning, feedback, and direct communication skills in a workshop-type setting. Instructors will demonstrate, observe, and give feedback on student performance of the communication competencies to help students develop fluency in coaching direct reports and peer teams as well as facilitating meetings.
