Being an expert in IT is no longer enough to allow you to thrive in—or sometimes even survive—the increasing complexity of projects under your responsibility. You know that a specialized knowledge base is not sufficient when it comes to working with people. Over the years you have learned how to listen and create successful compromises…but it is still hard to deal with the resistance that arises while developing and implementing new projects. Especially when you’re not the boss, what tools do you have to encourage successful forward momentum among your peers?
Join us in a hands-on session devoted to helping you increase your capacity to coach others. Coaching is more than listening, and it’s more than the art of compromise. Coaching allows you to better understand the competencies, interests and strategies that are easily missed in the rush toward project completion. Paradoxically, it is this ability to help others achieve their goals that will help you achieve yours.
