Coaching for Performance – Develop Your People
Develop the necessary skills to effectively coach your employees, and ensure that your team performs at its optimum level.
In today’s early childhood and early intervention sector, leaders face rapid changes, rising expectations, and heavier workloads. Building a quality and excellent preschool requires more than strong leadership — it requires a team that is positive, proactive, resilient, and effective in managing daily responsibilities.
This course helps leaders and their teams strengthen individual effectiveness, work together to manage stress constructively, stay organised, and maintain the high standards of education and care expected of them. By combining resilience skills with practical effectiveness tools, leaders can reduce burnout, improve staff retention, and create a sustainable workplace where their teams can perform at their best — ultimately benefitting both staff and children.
Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
