Why We Encourage Co-Coaching With Staff Supervisors

Co-coaching with Virtical, a Staff Member, and Their Supervisor

Collaborative Coaching: Co-coaching with Gary Solomonson, a staff member and their supervisor can provide several key benefits by developing well-rounded employees who are not only skilled in their roles but also deeply connected to the company’s mission and values. Supervisors may choose to participate at various points in the workshops or throughout the zooms. Zooms are not recorded.

Enhanced Skill Development: The individual can receive tailored feedback and strategies to improve their sales techniques, leading to better performance and results. Understanding and integrating company culture can improve teamwork, communication, and alignment with organizational values.

Improved Communication: Regular interactions with the supervisor in a coaching setting can foster open and honest communication, helping to address any issues or misunderstandings promptly.

Personalized Guidance: Co-coaching allows for a more personalized approach, recognizing existing and potential strengths, which can accelerate their growth and development.

Building Trust and Relationships: Joint coaching sessions can strengthen the relationship between the individual and their supervisor, building mutual trust and respect for one another.

Holistic Development: >Virtical’s primary focus is on sales, life enrichment, and executive and regional directors who actively create the culture, ensuring that staff are not only improving their technical skills but also becoming a more integrated and valuable member of the team.

Increased Accountability: Ongoing coaching sessions with a supervisor can increase accountability and follow through on action plans and goals discussed during coaching.

Alignment with Organizational Goals: Co-coaching ensures that the individual’s development is aligned with the broader goals and objectives of the organization, creating a more cohesive and effective team.

Morale and Motivation: Support by both a coach and a supervisor can boost the individual’s morale and motivation by addressing challenges and obstacles quickly and effectively, leading to increased job satisfaction, retention, and performance.

Long-term Benefits: The combined approach of sales, life enrichment, executive and regional directors in cultural coaching can lead to long-term benefits for both the individual and the organization, such as higher retention rates, better team dynamics, and overall improved business outcomes. One of the surprising benefits of co-coaching is discovering the unknown talents, experiences and knowledge of a person with whom you’re working.

Hi, I’m Nancy Goldman, Gary’s partner in Virtical and Chair of our Thought-leader Advisory Board. My background of more than 45 years in the hospitality industry brings aspects to our discussion of cultural development in senior living that are essential, as we need to recognize that most baby boomers have changing expectations regarding senior living. Our Virtical Advisory Board meets periodically with seven primary members and invited guests who are active in senior living to keep us informed about evolving trends, changes, and opportunities to enrich our coaching services.
