Making Learning Stick: The Importance of Ongoing Coaching for Sustained Behavior Change and Business Results presented by Kathy Carmean, Lee Hecht Harrison.

Keen business acumen will no longer ensure a leader achieves both business results and professional success. It requires people acumen as well, and many of tomorrow’s and today’s leaders are in short supply of this competency set. So how do HR/OD/Training professionals help leaders understand that today’s leaders must have both business and people acumen?

In this session we’ll:

Review the metrics that demonstrate that supplementing training with coaching can achieve significant and sustained behavior change
Look at multiple kinds of coaching engagements, both internal and external
Differentiate business coaching from “life” coaching and mentors from coaches and consultants
The various ways that “coaching” can be applied in organizations
How creating a “coaching culture” can help attract and retain the best and brightest
How coaching conversations and ongoing feedback impact the performance and retention of Gen X & Gen Y
How to sell the idea of coaching to the dubious

Fees: $25 member ($30 at the door) $35 non-member ($40 at the door). Registration and Networking 11-11:30. Meeting starts promptly at 11:30.
