Help your coaches get in shape!
Becoming a great coach might seem easy but it does require training and practice! Effective coaches help individuals feel good about their work and gain a heightened sense of commitment and ownership. They also enable individuals to master new skills and responsibilities in accordance with their organization's needs.
Get Fit for Coaching is a fast-paced and fun experience that gives participants the opportunity to practice five distinct skills associated with successful coaching and communication between the coach and “coachee”:
- Building Rapport
- Observing and Analyzing
- Questioning and Listening
- Providing Feedback
- Facilitating Learning
Get Fit for Coaching is a cross between a game and a training course. It can be used as a stand-alone game to build, refresh, or reinforce coaching skills, or as part of a broader leadership training program. It is suitable for managers, supervisors, team leaders, and anyone who wants to become a more effective 'coach'.
HOW Get Fit for Coaching WORKS
After a brief presentation on the five key coaching skills, teams begin the first round of play, racing against the clock to answer coaching questions correctly, developing a sharper understanding of the five key skills. In round two, participants are asked to respond to everyday coaching situations, earning a 'letter card' for each correct response. The first team to earn a card for each letter in the word 'Coach' wins the game.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Practice and strengthen the five key coaching skills
- Discover how to develop effective coaching relationships and provide a rewarding work environment
- Learn how to improve others' performance and maximize potential through coaching.

For more than 15 years, the Team Effectiveness Profile (TEP) has helped teams eliminate or reduce blockages in the 5 vital areas of team activity:
- Mission, Vision, and Goals
- Team Roles
- Operating Processes
- Interpersonal Relationships
- Interteam Relationships
Learning Outcomes
- Identify issues that block effectiveness
- Reduce or eliminate problems that can drain a group's energy
- Maximize the group's productive efforts
Theory
The Team Effectiveness Profile focuses on the 5 Categories of Team Effectiveness. The first 4 of these categories are based on those presented by Richard Beckhard in Organization Development: Strategies and Models (1969). Interteam relationship theory is the basis for the fifth category.
How It Works
The TEP has been designed to function as a self-administered learning instrument. The TEP yields an overall Team Effectiveness Score as well as separate scores for each of the 5 areas indicating the general health of the group and blockages that hinder team effectiveness.
Uses for the TEP
Appropriate for any type of team and all levels of team members and leaders, the TEP can be used as a stand-alone instrument or as a component in a larger team-building program. The TEP can be used to:
- Measure pre-team building conditions
- Orient new teams to potential problems
- Unblock struggling teams
- Determine post- team-building results
We recommend administering the TEP periodically, as issues will change over a period a time.

What's your Negotiation Style?
Defeating?
Accommodating?
Collaborating?
Withdrawing?
Compromising?
Everybody negotiates. Whether people are striving to hit their monthly sales quota, campaigning for a deadline extension, or pitching ideas to a team, the same principles apply.
There's more to effective negotiating than the outcome alone. In fact, building productive relationships is equally important. Skillful negotiators know this is the key to their success - and its what sets them apart from the rest.
Based on Ury and Fishers collaborative win-win model, and heavily influenced by the highly-respected Thomas-Kilmann conflict resolution model, the offers a simple framework for determining ones negotiating style and the likely effect it has in negotiating situations.
A powerful combination of self-assessment, 180 peer feedback, and classroom training, the Negotiating Style Profile identifies a preference for one of five negotiating styles: Defeating, Accommodating, Collaborating, Withdrawing, or Compromising.
Learning Outcomes
- Learn five styles of negotiating
- Identify personal negotiating style
- Discover why a win-win approach is most effective
- Learn how ones negotiating style is perceived by others
- Develop an action plan to improve negotiating-style strengths
The Negotiating Style Profile is an excellent starting point for anyone in your organization, from front-line employees to management team members and everyone in between.
How it Works
The Negotiating Style Profile self-assessment presents individuals with 30 statements. Their task is to choose one of seven possible responses, ranging from Completely Characteristic to Completely Uncharacteristic. Scores reveal a preference for one of five negotiating styles: Defeating, Accommodating, Collaborating, Withdrawing, or Compromising.
One self-assessment is needed for each particpant. The facilitator kit provides a sample and the self-assessment can be purchased separately (#RBSNSG).
The Negotiating Style Profile also offers a 180 feedback component that enables individuals to see how they are perceived by their peers. Combining the results of the self-assessment and the feedback provides individuals with an in-depth understanding of their natural tendencies as well as a starting point for improvement. Both pieces take approximately 20 minutes to complete. One hour is recommended for the interpretation of results, debrief, and goal setting.
The Negotiating Style Profile Facilitator Set includes tools to lead a 1 -hour classroom training workshop, including comprehensive background information, step-by-step instructions, optional activities, alternative training options, a reproducible article, and a professional Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. Trainer certification is not required to administer or facilitate the Negotiating Style Profile.
Uses and Applications
The Negotiating Style Profile can be used as a stand-alone learning instrument or part of a more comprehensive curriculum on topics such as negotiating, selling, communication, and conflict resolution. Its an excellent starting point to help individuals:
- Gain awareness of their current negotiating behavior.
- Prepare for an upcoming negotiation.
- Improve the planning and communication skills needed to be an effective negotiator.
- Practice negotiating with people who have different negotiating styles.
