From Faking It to Making It

Based on the successful TV series, Faking It, this program will provide both newcomers and experienced managers with a practical framework that can be used to coach others, which will empower and improve productivity.

Using a real-life example from the series, the program demonstrates how Sian Evans, a reserved professional cellist, was trained to become a London club DJ over the course of one month by a team of coaches.

After being taken from her countryside lifestyle to London, Sian was taught how to mix records and given dance lessons and a crash-course in clubbing culture. With the aid of expert coaching she received, Sian was successfully transformed and was able to convince a panel of experts that she was a seasoned DJ.

The program uses strong simple messages, which are easy for managers who need to learn the fundamentals of coaching to understand and relate to their own circumstances.

Learning Points Include:

• Identifying the objective with the learner at the outset
• Understanding the importance of building skills, confidence and attitude
• Taking the process one step at a time

Successful coaching is a rewarding experience, not just for the learner whose abilities are enhanced and horizons widened, but also for the coach.
