The Art of Questioning for Workplace Coaching and OJT

Guiding team members and running effective on-the-job training (OJT) requires more than just giving direct instructions. The most successful leaders use strategic questioning to unlock potential, encourage independent thinking, and build trust. This course teaches you how to transition from directing to coaching by mastering the art of the question. You will learn to structure conversations that foster growth, evaluate progress constructively, and create a supportive environment where team members feel empowered to solve problems. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of active listening and psychological safety in workplace communication. - Master open-ended versus closed-ended questions to guide subordinate development. - Apply structured coaching frameworks to daily OJT interactions. - Formulate constructive evaluation questions that encourage self-reflection without causing defensiveness. - Navigate challenging training scenarios with targeted, growth-oriented inquiries.
