“Is the content actionable? How will they apply it at work?”
“Our learners end up getting bored. Then they don’t show up – What can we do?!”
“Engagement is always low. How do we know they are learning?”
These are some of the challenges clients bring to us when we speak about Managerial Development Programs. In Jombay’s Development Programs, we take extra effort to make sure the content is not just relevant and actionable but also unboring! As we set the tone for collaborative learning, our facilitators bring a dose of enthusiasm, making the learning experience downright fun! From action-learning to problem-solving challenges, our content is not only relevant and actionable but also a delightful journey of growth and discovery. Here are some details:
The GRACE Framework:
This is a comprehensive approach to coaching conversations that we deploy in our “Manager as Coach” Program. This framework encompasses key principles that help managers create a coaching environment fostering trust, encouraging open communication, and driving meaningful development. Through it, we discuss relevance and applicability at work and focus on solving real work scenarios through this guiding framework!
GRAVITAS: Establish a commanding presence, exuding confidence and authority while demonstrating humility.
RESPECT: Value diverse perspectives, actively listen without judgment, and honor the contributions of others.
AUTHENTICITY: Be genuine and transparent in communication, fostering trust, and encouraging open and honest dialogue.
CANDOR: Provide honest and direct feedback, addressing both strengths and areas for improvement, in a constructive manner.
EMPATHY: Seek to understand and empathize with others’ experiences, creating a safe and inclusive environment.
The Fishbowl Technique:
The Fishbowl technique enhances communication skills through engaging demonstrations of both ineffective and effective conversations. Participants reflect on observed behaviors and engage in facilitated discussions. Multiple rounds of skill practice allow for practical application and feedback. This technique cultivates a supportive environment for improving conversation skills, fostering understanding and effective communication.
These activities form a crucial part of our “Manager as Coach” program. Through its impact we create managers who are more than just managers – they are coaches. They empower their teams, foster growth, and create a positive work culture. By adopting a coaching mindset, these managers inspire individuals to reach their full potential, set ambitious goals, and overcome challenges.
We have successfully worked with customers like Odessa, Lubrizol, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Software One etc. where participants found our content in the “Manager as Coach” program, relevant, were impacted by the meaningful learning experience and the ability to apply it at work!
