benefits

After completion of the program, participants will be able to:

  • Combine the use of a highly effective coaching process with high-impact coaching behaviors.
  • Clarify specific coaching relationships and goals through contracting.
  • Create their own Coach’s Development Plan, based on the results of a competency-based coaching assessment.
  • Identify aligned ways of providing coaching to individuals who may have performance or behavioral challenges in a way which addresses the causes rather than the symptoms; or individuals who have further potential that needs to be developed.
  • Explore techniques for generating possibilities and gaining commitment to action, identifying the coaching opportunities to accelerate performance and development.
the program The complete learning journey is approximately 6 months in duration.

Pre-work: a 360-degree feedback process is part of the preparation of this program. This process is aimed at obtaining insight in leadership styles of the participant, the organizational climate that he/she creates, as well as on the Randstad Group competencies. The results of the feedback will be discussed in a personal feedback session with a certified facilitator. A coaching behavior self-assessment sets a baseline for the work to be undertaken in the in-person session.

In-person session: an intensive two-day workshop focusing on combining great conversations with the MEDAL coaching process to address the practices and challenges required to coach effectively at Randstad. Topics include:
  • Setting goals to overcome the challenges of coaching 
  • Establishing the ground rules for the coaching approach – when, where, why, how, what is to be achieved 
  • Assessment of the existing situation to identify what needs to be addressed 
  • Feedback, enhancing learning and encouraging a new understanding of the issue 
  • Exploring techniques for generating options for development and selecting specific goals and objectives 
  • Agreeing commitment to the objectives 
  • Establish a process to monitor and evaluate the outcomes of the coaching. 

Post-assignment: after the in-person session, participants will have the opportunity to apply the coaching skills into practice and develop a Coaching Portfolio under the guidance of a Linkage Master-coach. The coach-the-coach process continues for six months and includes supportive Hangout sessions, one-to-one coach-the-coach sessions and a graduation webinar.
