Hong Kong - In a partnership with the Hong Kong alumni clubs of Wharton and Yale, AsiaWorks will present an engaging dialogue and hands-on coaching session for business leaders at the American Club from 9 am to noon on Saturday, September 20.

Kelly Poulos, an international management consultant & performance coach will lead the workshop for AsiaWorks, as part of a continuing educational programme sponsored by the two Hong Kong alumni clubs.

"Effective executives are realizing that learning the art of coaching is quickly becoming another vital aspect of becoming an accomplished manager," said Ms. Poulos. "They must be able to develop a relationship that evokes swift, committed and effective action in others - and that relationship is coaching."

During the session, Ms. Poulos will cover two core competencies for executives who want to become effective coaches.

• A map that covers the five phases of a successful Coach/Player relationship.
• A model for Coaching in Action that covers the crucial stages of every successful project or goal.

She will apply these approaches to the specific issues and challenges faced by organisations and individuals, such that participants will immediately see ways to increase their ability to produce tangible results in the workplace and their lives.

Ms. Poulos' career is distinguished by a series of successful collaborations with individuals and organisations. Her clients are employed by organisations such as Unilever, Apple, AT&T and Sony. Her work takes her to North America, South America, Asia and Europe. For the last ten years she has been the Senior Consultant and Executive Coach for AsiaWorks and has been instrumental in growing the company from a start up to its current status as one of the premier global training companies.
