In this webcast, ATD Research discusses the current state of the use of coaching as a managerial tool, and provides insight on how learning leaders can more effectively develop and sustain successful coaching programs. Although coaching is a powerful tool, only about a quarter of organizations incorporate it into their talent development portfolio.

Key questions that will be discussed:

  • Have organizations identified the skills that managers need to be effective?
  • Do learning leaders provide managers with the learning assets associated with the necessary skills?
  • Do organizations emphasize, measure, and recognize coaching?
  • What are the best practices related to implementing, growing, and sustaining coaching, as identified by our research?

This webcast will feature Colin Pitcairn, learning and development manager of Keller North America, a large geotechnical engineering and construction company based in Maryland. Keller North America recently started a formal coaching training program for managers. The goal is to train all of Keller’s North America-based managers as coaches and possibly expand the program to Keller’s worldwide offices.
