Coach Salons

Coach Salon is a gathering for leaders and coaches who want to enhance their skills in business coaching situations. Many attendees will be performing line management or HR/HRD roles and seeking to become more effective at coaching inside their companies. Participants will learn how to work with the most challenging and complex situations. People will share their own experiences and learn from each other. They may also receive support from the facilitator in between salons.

Salons will be held bimonthly in Tokyo on the following Fridays:

Attendance will be limited to 12-16 people per salon, depending on the topic. Each session will be designed to encourage a significant amount of interaction among participants. Salons will be held at PDI Japan's office at Yebisu Garden Place Office Tower, 18F. All sessions will be conducted in English although some particpants may converse in Japanese during group break-outs and role-play sessions.

We will address the following questions during the structured discussion
on September 11:

• Why should leaders do more coaching? What stops leaders from doing coaching?
• What is the difference between coaching and mentoring?
• What are the core coaching skills for line managers?
• How can managers create a safe, positive, and supportive coaching environment?
• What are some exceptionally useful coaching models and frameworks?
• How can leaders get started in doing (more) coaching?

The salons will be facilitated by Dr. Katherine Holt. Katherine managed PDI Japan from 1994-2000. She has coached executives in Japan and throughout Asia-Pacific for more than 15 years.
