INTRODUCTION TO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT COACHING (MAFHRMS426)

Introduction to Performance Management Coaching (IPMC) is a foundational course open to all levels of employees within the DAF, and it is a pre-requisite course for all other CLDS coaching courses. IPMC is an online 4-module, self-paced/asynchronous course housed in a learning management system (LMS). Students will view videos presenting skills and competencies of performance management coaching and showing how these concepts can be applied to real-world examples of performance management issues with the Department of the Air Force. Students will learn the principles and skills of performance management that a coaching leader uses, including active listening, powerful questioning, and high emotional intelligence, for example. Students will also learn about the GROW Coaching Model and the concept of “coaching up,” in which employees learn how to have respectful coaching conversations with people in positions of power within their organizations. Each of the concepts taught will be further explored in our live coaching courses: PMCS and PMCO. Each module will end with a quiz to assess learning.

Note: IPMC is an online, self-paced course which covers the foundational principles and skills of coaching. All asynchronous content will be housed in a learning management system (LMS), which will be monitored by performance coaching instructors. To take any of our other courses (PMCS, PMCO), students must have a passing IPMC grade on record.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT COACHING FOR SUPERVISORS AND LEADERS (MAFHRMS427), PDS CODE: 2SZ

Performance Management Coaching for Supervisors and Leaders (PMCS) is a 3 module, blended e-learning course, which includes asynchronous and synchronous instruction in a virtual classroom setting. Students will complete assigned knowledge checks and create discussion posts in a learning management system (LMS) before joining live, instructor-facilitated webinars at pre-determined times during a four-day period. PMCS expands upon the fundamentals of coaching, delivered in the pre-requisite, asynchronous course, Introduction to Performance Management Coaching (IPMC); then applies those competencies, including the GROW Coaching Model, in real-world scenarios tailored to the types of experiences DAF supervisors face. Students will be encouraged to discuss with their classmates their plans for modeling and applying coaching strategies in their respective workplaces. Students will have opportunities to apply coaching skills in each webinar, culminating in a final capstone activity in which students will be individually evaluated as they coach a fellow classmate through a live performance management scenario using the skills learned in PMCS.

Note: PMCS is specifically designed for DAF employees who are current supervisors or who are in the process of becoming supervisors or leaders in their organizations. To take PMCS, students must first pass Introduction to Performance Management (IPMC), the online, self-paced course which covers the foundational principles and skills of coaching. All asynchronous content will be housed in a learning management system (LMS), which will be monitored and graded by performance coaching instructors. The 3 live webinars and the live capstone coaching experience will all take place in a one-week time frame.
