Words like always and never are rarely accurate, so the person argues about them instead of changing.

If you only heard about a problem, check the facts first. Rumours and unnamed complaints are not fair feedback.

Specific praise tells the person exactly what to keep doing. "Great job" does not.

One or two points at a time are easier to act on than a long list.

Veelgestelde vragen
What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?
It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, a professional coaching credential, or a vendor, employer or government certification.
How does the final assessment work?
It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% (28 of 35) to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.
Do I need to be a supervisor to take this course?
No. It is written for supervisors and team leads, but anyone who gives feedback to coworkers, trains new staff or wants to grow into a leadership role can use it.
Is GROW the only coaching model?
No. GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way forward) is one common, simple model. The course uses it because it is easy to remember and works for short workplace conversations.
Does this course replace my employer's HR or discipline process?
No. Harassment complaints, discipline and human rights issues have set steps. Always follow your employer's policies and talk to your manager or human resources when you are unsure.
Is het certificaat geaccrediteerd of officieel erkend?
Nee. Het is een privé bewijs van deelname, alleen voor je kennis. Het is niet erkend, geaccrediteerd of goedgekeurd door een overheid, vergunningsinstantie, toezichthouder of onderwijsinstelling, en het vervangt geen wettelijk verplichte vergunning, certificering of opleiding.
