Overview

Skill Builder for HR: Workplace Coaching Skills 

HR professionals and managers coach employees every day, often without realising it. But knowing when to coach, when to manage, and how to ask the right questions can make the difference between a conversation that goes in circles and one that delivers real results.

Led by Marie Ferris of Thrive Coaching & Development, this practical Skill Builder session will help you develop workplace coaching skills you can apply immediately to performance conversations, employee development, and manager support. You'll leave with a simple framework and techniques to make your conversations more focused, productive, and impactful.


Ideal for:

  • HR professionals looking to strengthen their coaching and people-development skills
  • People managers who regularly support employee growth and performance
  • Line managers seeking to improve the quality of workplace conversations
  • HR practitioners who coach managers through complex people issues
  • Anyone responsible for developing talent, improving performance, or supporting employee development

This training session will include:

  • Expert-led presentation from Marie Ferris, Thrive Coaching & Development
  • Live Q&A session
  • Facilitated peer discussion and shared learning
  • Practical workplace examples and coaching techniques
  • Actionable takeaways that can be applied immediately in your role

Topics Covered:

  • The role of coaching: what it is and what it isn't
  • Coaching versus managing: choosing the right approach in real workplace situations
  • Asking powerful questions and listening for deeper insight
  • Using a simple coaching framework to encourage action and achieve results

By the end of this course, you’ll learn:

  • How to confidently switch between coaching and managing while maintaining authority and momentum
  • A practical questioning approach that helps move conversations beyond surface-level issues and towards meaningful action
  • How to apply a clear coaching framework that keeps discussions focused, purposeful, and outcome-driven
  • Techniques for encouraging greater ownership, reflection, and accountability in workplace conversations
  • Ways to use coaching skills to support employee development, performance improvement, and manager effectiveness
