Coaching for Commitment Workshop:

Participant Workbook, Third Edition

In today's fast-paced, employee-centered organizations, the opportunities for leadership no longer rest with managers and supervisors alone—everyone needs to be a coach!

First and foremost, Coaching for Commitment is about taking care of people; by taking care of people, you take care of the bottom line. The return on investment for coaching is multiple times the initial investment, and the payoffs are tangible: sustained superior performance and commitment to self, organization, and goals. The more coaching happens, the more high performing individuals and teams become. Just imagine an entire organization in which the majority of teams are high performing. . . . Now there's a value proposition for coaching!

The Participant Workbook is your guide to the two-day Coaching for Commitment Workshop.

In this third edition of the Coaching for Commitment Workshop, all the bases have been covered. Authors Cindy Coe and Amy Zehnder have strengthened and streamlined this new and improved two-day workshop to make it even more participant-centered and dynamic. It now provides an interactive and engaging learning experience that is the most effective way to make the shift to the coach role.

  • In this workshop, participants will:

  • Become involved by understanding the various roles they play when interacting with others.

  • Discover ways to be more effective in the coach role and how to gain commitment from theperson being coached (PBC).

  • Commit to creating a Coaching for Commitment Culture.

The Participant Workbook will serve as your learning tool, activity guide, and post-workshop reference guide. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coaching for Effectiveness and Excellence, July 1, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coaching for Commitment: Interpersonal Strategies for Obtaining Superior Performance (Hardcover)
In Dr. Kinlaw's updating of his earlier version of this book, he has continued to write with licid organization and the effective format of key learning concepts/principles at the end of each chapter. In my opinion, one of his greatest contributions is that of taking a position, based on his experience, that coaches should develop scripts of the right things to say and the right format to follow to achieve to desired outcomes. His contrasting this with examples of the wrong things to say and do is didactically efficacious. I have purchased extra copies of this book for my two sons and have recommended it to many others.
