Cards are color coded and present specific techniques that can be used to develop or strengthen individual or team skills. You will learn how to prepare for important conversations, frame powerful questions, uncover someone else’s reasoning, offer your ideas in a way that is very likely to be heard, and craft agreements that last. On one side of each card, techniques are described; on the other side, examples are provided with specific language. Directions guide individuals through a self-paced assessment and development process. For more information about The Dialogue Deck or to purchase, please visit dialoguedeck.com.
Everyday Coaching: Using Conversations to Strengthen Your Culture
Coaching is not just for coaches. When everybody within an organization learns and develops coaching skills, the group’s culture begins to change. The willingness to share insights and ideas becomes accepted and expected at all levels – up, down and across. Through practical tips and examples, Everyday Coaching demonstrates the difference between conversations and true dialogue: the power of using the language of coaching to achieve expectations, personal growth and overall strategic success. With an easy-to-use coaching model, you may practice formally or informally giving feedback, making agreements and guiding behavior. Not everyone is a professional coach. But with Everyday Coaching, everyone may take the best of what coaching has to offer – the dialogue, tools and mindset – and leverage it to transform themselves and their organization.
