The right words
empower managers.

Words matter because people REACT to words.

 

The right words impact:

​

Performance

Attitudes

Relationships

Joy Van Skiver, president of The POWERformance Group, created a coaching language to give managers an edge. This language turns good coaching into powerful coaching. It empowers managers to motivate and inspire their teams.​​

To understand how this language, works, watch a short excerpt from “Finding the Right Words,” a webinar Joy delivered for a Fortune 100 company. The video includes examples as well as the research behind the language.

It's positive.

A coaching language turns negatives into positives. It fosters a growth mindset. Managers look ahead, not back. They guide. They motivate.

​It sticks.

Managers learn the language once and keep it forever!

​

Impact Studies show that managers are making life changes. Out of 336 coaching reports from 84 sales managers, 82% reflected all the coaching language principles six months after the training.

 

It works.

In one post-training survey, managers said they didn’t have to keep repeating the same coaching advice. Their team members “got it” the first time! In another survey, team members said they found their managers’ coaching valuable at least 80% of the time.

a coaching language fit?
