Coaching Skills for the PMO
Coaching Skills for the PMO
Coaching has often been identified as a key skill for PMO professionals. It’s long been mentioned in job advertisements as “coaching and mentoring skills” and more recently with the PMO supporting Agile delivery approaches, the term ‘coaching’ is heard more frequently.
In this interactive and practical introductory course we will debunk some of the myths about coaching and look at how different types of coaching skills and techniques can be used day to day by PMO professionals. This is not a course about becoming a coach, focused more on how you can apply coaching techniques to become an effective PMO professional, a trusted business partner and an inspiring team leader.
