Towson eLearning Center (TEC) Featured Course of the Month
Successfully Coaching Relationships (mgmt_09_a02_bs_enus)
Coaching is a set of practical skills and a style of relating that develop the potential of both the individual being coached and the coach. For this development to take place, there must be a working relationship between a coach and a willing coachee, a relationship based on mutual trust, respect, commitment and confidentiality. Within this collaborative framework, the coach uses a repertoire of styles to suit both the situation and the personality of the coachee. This course shows learners what fosters a productive coaching relationship and what prevents such relationships. The course analyzes the role of the coach and examines learning styles to see how adults approach learning tasks in different ways.
