ABSTRACT OF SESSION:
When Project
Managers can recognize the true power of inquiry and take advantage of
skillful question-asking, they set a dynamic course for organizational
excellence and competitive advantage. Questioning is a vital part of all
thinking, communication, and learning. The better our questions are, the
more we can learn. One way to use questions powerfully is through coaching
others. This powerful presentation will show how to transform thinking,
action, and results through intentional and skillful coaching. Project
Managers benefit from learning new methods of using powerful questions
to coach others – enhancing the results and building greater capabilities
in others. We also focus on how to avoid the kinds of questions that impede
success.
The session is interactive, informative, and practical.
Participants will leave with new insights and skills they can put to use
immediately.
Presentation will consist of a mix of presentation, case example, interactive
exercises, and Q&A.
