Coaching – So Much More than a Buzz-Word

The effective use of individual coaching can accelerate both individual and organizational change. Coaching is a consulting relationship designed to improve an employee’s leadership ability, performance, and effectiveness. Coaching focuses on what is going well and what needs to be improved.

Developmental Coaching…

• Helps create stronger and more productive people

• Is directly tied to personal improvement and increased productivity

• Supports personal discovery and enlightenment

• Assists in aligning individual planning, goal setting, and achievement with organizational planning, goal setting, and achievement
  

The purpose of BCI’s Developmental Coaching Program is to maximize an individual’s impact upon the organization and to support professional, departmental and organizational growth. The program will focus on professional skill development with an emphasis on the management and leadership core competencies valued by the organization.
