Building Your Bench: Best Practices for Coaching Your Staff

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Iowa

Coaching staff to success is an important part of any organization's culture, but mentoring staff can present its challenges. Participants attending this FREE workshop will learn different coaching approaches for different employees, how to coach underachievers, tips to overcome the "inherited employee" syndrome and how to keep your team energized under pressure, crisis and change. All will walk away with activities, tools and techniques to bring to their staff and management to help them refine their skills as coaches too. This workshop is a great fit for supervisors of all experience levels, board members, aspiring supervisors and any staff member who manages volunteers.  
 
This workshop is provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Iowa.  BBBSNEIA matches youth facing adversity in long-term, professionally supported one-to-one relationships with positive role models from the community.  Professional staff at the organization coach volunteers daily on the value and importance of being a quality mentor. The workshop will be led by Laura Yeats, Program Director, and Katie Orlando, Executive Director. Laura &amp; Katie were selected by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to present this workshop at the organization's national conference later this summer and they are excited to have the opportunity to share this information to other professionals in the Cedar Valley.
