6. Explore CSP coaching tools, techniques and Performance Management processes.
7. Practice and become effective in giving and receiving feedback.

Recommended Approach

The Coaching and Business Alignment Workshop is Step 5 from the Six Steps for Sustainable Growth. The Six Steps are intended as a guide. Steps within the process can be used in isolation as stand-alone workshops. Alternatively, clients may choose to implement all Six Steps or focus on a number of priority Steps, based on the outcomes of a self-assessment analysis and consultation.
