Top US Business Author Presents a Free Workshop to Business Leaders

Vistage Ireland chair Etain Doyle will be hosting a member guest day at the Fitzwilliam Dublin Hotel on the 23 June. The international speaker Gary Markle will present his session ‘Catalytic Coaching – A performance management system that works.’

In this highly interactive workshop tailored specifically to meet the needs of Vistage participants, Gary makes his case for the abolishment of conventional methods of performance evaluation and teaches participants how to replace them with a more effective and efficient system that he
calls “Catalytic Coaching”.

The workshop will give participants a complete overview of an employee development system designed to accomplish five key business objectives:
• Change behaviour
• Motivate employees to work harder
• Reduce turnover
• Develop people for assuming greater responsibility
• Minimise legal exposure

Participants are given instruction on how to use the system to deal with common but challenging special cases like: The Problem Performer (a poor performer with good attitude); The Liability (a
poor performer with poor attitude); The Climber (a good performer with high potential); The Unreliable (a good performer but radical nonconformist). The workshop includes an exercise in which participants complete a coaching worksheet in preparation for a session with at least one real direct report.
