Coaching Abrasive Leaders

Coaching Abrasive Leaders

Executives, managers, and professionals who engage in abrasive behavior (also known as workplace bullying) exact a high price in terms of employee distress and costs to the organization.

These clients present significant challenges to the executive coach. Most often in denial about their abrasive styles, these individuals may demonstrate intense defensiveness or resist coaching altogether.

This two-part webinar series is designed to help you avoid predictable pitfalls encountered both with the referring employer and prospective client to forge a productive coaching process.

In this 2-part webinar series you will learn:

• How to avoid falling into an adversarial (vs. collaborative) role with your client
• How to avoid the perception that you, the coach, have failed if the client fails to engage in coaching
• How to avoid "fact battles" with your client over whether he/she is abrasive
• How to avoid falling for Employers' demands for progress reports
• How to avoid falling into doing the work your client needs to do

Who is this for?

Seasoned Coaches, Executive Coaches, Coaching Supervisors, Internal Coaches, HR /OD Professionals or Leader Coaches.
