I found it very interesting and impactful. The evidence supporting the value of coaching to organizations overall was impressive and I liked how the skills section was distilled into some key takeaways that are easy to remember and take action. I would have liked more on the skills, but understand that was not the primary focus of this presentation.

While there was some good information, I felt that the actual portion of the class devoted to being a better coach was too small in comparison to the other information. Also, the teacher was pretty dry and without any interesting stories or material. I had to keep stopping and restarting the video to keep listening.

This course is great! Very good and I wish they made all managers take this course. I have had 3 managers over the last 2 years. Zero coaching going on in our group, managers are just concerned with themselves and how they can move up and not those below them.

An excellent course that explains the difference between managing and coaching. It describes how good coaching skills build a performance-enhancing adaptive culture, inspires employee accountability and engagement, and enhances your own impact as a Leader.

Pace could've been a bit quicker, but the concepts presented were quite useful. Would like to see a few more examples of these concepts in action. Repeated focus on balance of EQ vs IQ was so key to the overall of value this course.

This course pulled me right in to the subject matter from the beginning. It was highly engaging and easy to listen to; plain, succinct and insightful. Very positive. I'm looking forward to applying what I learned.

I really enjoyed the final section that included tips for how to be a better coach. I would have liked more of the course dedicated to that section and less time devoted the the reasons why coaching is important.

Many good points on HOW to coach well but too much time spent explaining WHY to be a good coach. Chose course so had already bought into WHY. Needed HOW. That said, the objectives were achieved as were stated.

Very good course. A little slow in proving the point for being a good coach but overall well presented. Good use of slides, good pace, well spoken. I would listen to some parts of this course twice.

I thought this course was informative. I appreciated the focus on the benefits of coaching, but would have liked more information on how to actually execute the coaching relationship.

I thought this was a very practical and informative class, however it would have been even more helpful to have additional concrete examples provided along with the content.

VALUABLE information for both coaches and those being coached. This can be reciprocal information and provide a more open understanding of our leaders and their approach.

Good background material on the potential of coaching. Would have liked some specific examples of the "experiential" coaching techniques recommended by the instructor.

The instructor does not give much examples that can relate in life. This course is entirely to enlighten how Coaching differentiates from Managing and Supervising.

Right brain vs left brain concepts were interesting. Also the feedback and discovering what others nor the employee know about themself is a new approach.

This course was very basic. I only would recommend it if someone has never had any training on coaching or performance management.
