Spotlight on the need
PIA acknowledged that coaching has been practiced in the workplace informally, with humble acceptance of the absence of coaching tools and system for monitoring and reinforcement. The training brought everyone to the realm of coaching leadership.
This is a big, relevant step taken by its Human Resource Development Division.
Communication is the core of the agency. As such, the agency believes that communication anchored on the principle of leadership coaching is vital. This is the lifeblood of quality output, employee engagement, performance, and empowerment, among others.
Jocelyn Linsao-Ng, a subject matter expert, unlocked the door for PIA's 'crème de la crème' to journey with leadership coaching in a four-day grounding.
Removed from the comfort zone, officers and top performers of the agency actively listened to the productive discussion and, thereafter, on an equal and fair call, all were given the opportunity for hands-on learning.
The ‘A Team’ of PIA Caraga with the guidance of Regional Director, Venus L. Garcia raised the bar so well with the involvement in the discourse, crafting the scripts for the role play with actual scenarios both in administrative office management and operational governance.
Learning tidbits
“Leadership coaching begins with self-awareness which means understanding the impact your thinking and behavior has on others-as well as your own personal effectiveness.”
This is a famous line of one coaching advocate.
More than knowing the introvert and extrovert personality principles, the opportunity to realize the different psychological preferences on how people perceive the world and make decisions through Myers–Briggs personality type indicator allowed the creams of the crop to widen their horizon and acceptance of the self and others.
