The POWERformance Group grew out of years of working with managers on communication skills. We discovered a huge gap between perception and reality — managers thought they were coaching, but:

​

• Their coaching comments were vague, superficial, lacking in both direction and motivation.

• Too often their focus was what’s wrong but no suggestion for fixing it.

• Or, the other extreme — too much praise and nothing to encourage growth.

• They were recapping the past with zero emphasis on the future.

 

Only about 20% of managers were hitting the mark of meaningful coaching.

​

That’s why we created what we call a coaching language. It’s a simple strategy anyone can learn in two hours or less.
