PRACTICAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS COACHING PROGRAM

This is a coaching program for people managers who want to improve their ability to manage people in their team and overcome common challenges faced by people managers.

This coaching program is based on FMI’s popular Practical Management Skills course and offers a practical, work based approach to developing management skills.

The program is typically delivered over a three to twelve month period. It is designed for people who are currently working as a manager.

The coach works with the participant to identify key content areas to focus on, working through learning objectives and tailoring the program to suit their specific learning needs and working context. Between each session the participant applies learning to their work and is able to review and evaluate their performance with the coach.

This coaching program helps to develop knowledge, improve capability and build confidence for new managers.
