ITD Manila at the PSTD June Tipanan: Building a Coaching Culture

One of ITD Angels, Faye Villena at ITD Table Exhibit

It was one warm afternoon at the Ateneo Rockwell campus, as we welcomed attendees with warm smiles to PSTD June Tipanan yesterday. The topic was about building a coaching culture. A new catch phrase that has been circulating in the Philippine HR industry today. An overflow of participants from various industries came to grace this very interesting learning event. 


The speaker started by showing an AVP clip to tickle the minds of the participants and jump start the discussion. This led to the definition of what coaching really is and how it is different from mentoring. He also encouraged interaction of participants by getting a volunteer to demonstrate an actual coaching conversation. And closed the session by leaving us with 10 critical success factors in creating a coaching culture as follows:
  1. Shared understanding of what coaching is
  1. Systematic Implementation (coaching road map)
  1. Visibillity of most coaching types (degree of penetration)
  1. Involvement and ownership from the top
  1. Coaching as positive growth-oriented tool
  1. High integrity and quality at all levels
  2. Careful and effective evaluation
  1. Complete transparency of the coaching initiative
  2. Full consistency with business objectives
  3. Win-win benefits of all stakeholder

One very memorable learning I gained from that seminar is that coaching is future-oriented. It unlocks a person's full potential by helping them realize it by themselves.Organizations around the world have come to recognize the power of coaching. Findings derived from research and practice found that training applied with follow-on coaching produces 88% improvement in performance in contrast to training alone with only 22% improvement. Imagine if everyone in the organization performs at their best, how can your organization would look like?
