Lead - Develop - Grow

• Coaching is focused on building a relationship of trust that can provide positive growth and development.
• We expect our coaches to be dedicated, investing the time and effort in their own growth as well as the development of others.
• Confidentiality parameters between the coach, employee, and supervisor are agreed upon and observed.
• Coaching isn’t to be used in place of corrective action or discipline however, an employee may be asked to utilize a coach to work on strategic growth areas.
• A successful experience is dependent upon the individual employee's readiness for coaching and the outcomes desired.

Employees who Engage in Coaching may acquire:

• A higher level of self-confidence.
• Improved communication skills.
• Ability to form more constructive relationships.
• Increased self-awareness and accountability.
• Better clarity in setting and meeting goals.

• Executive Coaching is an approach to learning that creates self-awareness, drives transformational change, while challenging and supporting leaders within a trusted partnership.  The collaborative relationship between the coach and the leader is designed to the executive needs and tailored in a way that provides sustainable  results. 
• Executives bring new perspectives and practices to the organization. KU’s investment in coaching ensures our leaders feel supported, empowered and have the opportunity for continued growth.

• Leadership coaching is a supportive process to help high performers continue to grow, develop, and improve.  Working with a coach facilitates the opportunity to engage in a confidential space with questions, answers, and self exploration.
• Coaches have no vested interest in the decisions you make or have any hidden agenda.  A sign of a great coach is one that is there for you when needed, asks great questions, provides a safe space to ask questions, explore scenarios and grow essential leadership skills. 

• Team coaching is effective when a group of leaders or team members need assistance in facilitating conversation to establish a vision, mission, roles, strategic plan, or any activity that aligns the group around a common purpose.  This generally involves a single coach or facilitator to work with a team to improve the groups productivity, engagement, and ability to generate outcomes.
• HRM provides team coaching, facilitation and strategic planning sessions at no charge for KU employees.  To schedule a consultation, contact hrdept@ku.edu. Team coaching services are also available through KU's external partners for a defined fee.
