Improving Performance through 'Two Minute Coaching'

Coaching does not have to be a lengthy and time consuming process.

Sometimes it just takes a few well-placed questions to open up new ways of thinking and generate creative ideas.

We have all heard of one minute management - now let's have a look at two minute coaching! Two minute coaching is ideal for people learning new skills and tasks, or for those who need to find new ways of carrying out their tasks.

The principle behind two minute coaching is that in just two minutes we can enable an individual to evaluate and improve their own performance and/or behaviours.

The two minute coaching model can be used for self-evaluation (i.e. you can ask yourself the questions) or with someone you are coaching, mentoring, managing or training.
