GIG Southeast: Enterprise Coaching: How to Build a Coaching Culture

Topic: The new International Coaching Federation Strategic Plan aims “to support the growth of organizational coaching cultures.” We will explore what a coaching culture is and its value to people, performance, organization effectiveness and overall business success; present a model for building a culture and discuss a case study of an organization that has successfully implemented it.

In this presentation, we will explore what defines a coaching culture. We will enumerate and discuss the value and benefits on people, performance, organization effectiveness and overall business success. We will present a structured model designed to build a sustainable coaching culture in three systematic steps - employing individual and team coaching, training and facilitated peer-coaching circles. We will close by showcasing a case study with a mid-size Oil and Gas company that has successfully implemented this model.

After this session, attendees will be able to:

Understand key components of a successful coaching culture and learn how it looks in practice.

Create a strategy for building a coaching culture in their organization based on a specific three phase model designed to accomplish this goal.

Realize the practical feasibility of building a sustainable coaching culture by exploring the case of an organization that has successfully implemented this model.
