EffortCoach is a program designed for coaches and mentors—individuals who may not have management authority or position, however, who still have a dramatic influence on performance. All of the critical coaching and mentoring tools found in the 2-day EffortWorks program are included in this program—all have been aligned to allow non-managing coaches or mentors to be more effective in their role.

 

 


EffortCoach is a high-impact coaching development program for individuals who coach and mentor both formally and informally. The target audience includes:

EffortCoach uses a combination of experiential learning exercises, stimulating discussion, and breakout sessions to encourage direct participation and interaction, unleash creativity, open the mind to possibility-thinking—and maximize the learning.
