  In recent years, organizations have invested heavily in building coaching cultures including coaching skills training for managers.  However, a rapidly growing body of research highlights the greater value of coachability for organizational effectiveness.  For example, highly coachable leaders have been found to foster greater levels of employee engagement and retention.  Across employees (i.e., leaders and individual contributors), research shows highly coachable individuals achieve significantly higher levels of performance, agility, and promotability.  In fact, one study indicated coachability matters more than the coaching skills of the manager for learning, performance, and agility.  As such, the impact of focusing on coaching without coachability may prove costly.  Investing in workforce coachability can be a catalyst to complement organizational improvement initiatives, such as coaching practices, leadership bench-building, DEI training, and workforce upskilling.

  This session will provide insights and applicable ideas centered around coachability, specifically the four practices of highly coachable leaders and what they create.

  This session gives you starting points for comprehending your own style for solving instructional design-based problems, how that impacts team contributions and dynamics, and even the products you and your team create!  You will:

  • Recognize the three components that comprise a problem-solving style.

  • Evaluate your aptitude for solving instructional design-based problems.

  •  Draft a professional development goal to strengthen your problem-solving style. Whether it’s a slice of the pie or the whole pizza, we’re so hangry that we burn our mouths only to discover our order was made wrong! These problems seem pretty basic in comparison to the complex problems we manage as learning and development professionals! But do we ever get the time to recognize our effectiveness in solving them, so we don’t repeat them?

  The Greater Philadelphia Chapter of ATD is proud to participate in the ATD Regional Webinar Series. This collaboration of 6 ATD chapters (including Eastern PA, Greater Philadelphia, Mid NJ, Northern NJ, Long Island & New York City) is bringing together the best of our networks to provide world class presenters and content.  We look forward to sharing these webinars with you throughout 2023.

  This session will help you develop clear communication strategies for asking for what you need. You will be given the vocabulary to better understand the various types of requests and how they are best relayed to colleagues. For example, upgrading “soft asks”, which can create confusion and end up with a missed deadline, to clear and actionable requests. Beyond language coaching, you will learn a practical framework for holding yourself and others accountable for improving performance at the individual and team level. In addition, you’ll receive a tool for handling breakdowns in accountability. Following the session, you will be equipped to transform your teams’ conversations—to help you do your job, and do it well.

  Together we will: 

  • Unlock the tools to ask for what you need and deal with breakdowns in accountability
  • Learn to recognize the differences between a “soft ask” and a “clear request” and between a “hedge” and a “clear agreement.”
  • Engage in valuable conversations around communication, accountability, and productivity
