Coaching Prescriptions provide you a step-by-step process to coach to a targeted area of development or performance. A Coaching Prescription will provide you a four step coaching process and framework for you to follow each and every session. In addition, each coaching session you will be provided with three elements that will make your coaching conversation a success:

1. Learning project- a learning project is an assignment that takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete that the employee will conduct or complete outside of the actual coaching session on their own. The learning project will be germane specifically to the area that you are coaching to.
2. Discussion-each coaching session should start off with a discussion in the way that discussion is started is through the learning project. During the discussion phase we will provide you with specific questions that you can ask specific to your coaching prescription purchased.
3. Activity- after the discussion has been completed you will be provided activities that you can facilitate again germane to the coaching prescription you’ve purchased.

Each session of each prescription will literally provide you with the questions, activities, and learning projects you can utilize every single step of the way. The benefit to you is you will be a will to put your own spin in style and things but this prescription will allow you to have a targeted, successful, and continuous coaching interaction with your employee (s).

Sometimes managers perform or own tasks instead of delegating them to their employees. There can be a variety of reasons as to why a manager does this. Does the manager lack confidence in his or her employees? If this is the case, it conjures up a whole other set of challenges. Does the manager have a high degree of discomfort passing the ball to other people? Does the manager not know how to confidently ask somebody for help?

Delegation by managers is important. We want our managers to delegate so it frees them up to do higher level leadership tasks, versus doing the job descriptive, functional requirements that employees are ultimately responsible for.

Each manager will have varying degrees of strength when it comes to delegation. It’s important to coach the manager to delegate more.
