Susanne Madsen – March 29th 2013

In a project management context, Coaching is the practice of helping project manages to identify and articulate what their professional challenges, goals and aspirations are and subsequently assist them in achieving these goals through in-depth conversations.

Project Manages can use coaching as a tool in many different contexts.

  • First, they can coach and mentor junior project managers and help them grow and develop.
  • Secondly they can choose to be coached themselves by engaging a professional coach or by asking a more senior colleague to be their mentor.
  • A Third way of using coaching is for project managers to get in the habit of asking insightful questions of themselves and keeping an open mind.

This type of Ć¢ā‚¬Å“self-coachingĆ¢ā‚¬Ā is especially useful in combination with a good coaching or leadership book that can help guide the individual.

Questions which are likely to be up for discussion during the live #PMCHAT include:

  • What are the benefits of coaching and mentoring PMs?
  • How big a role does coaching play in your daily job?
  • What are your best coaching tips & experiences?
  • What would it take for us to coach more and also encourage others to do so?
  • What would the benefits be to you personally if you had a coach?

About the Guest

susanne-madsen Join Susanne Madsen – Program Director, Project Leadership Coach, author of Project Management Coaching Workbook: Six Steps to Unleashing Your Potential. Susanne has over 15 years experience in managing and rolling out large change programs.Susanne’s big passion is helping project managers get to the next level – and to help organisations set-up coaching and mentoring programmes to enable that.

Susanne believes that a great project manager is first and foremost able to manage his or her own state of mind and that project management success is as much about managing people as it is about managing tasks, plans and resources. As a result she helps people to look inwards and become a better leader; someone who sets a great personal example, who is excellent at inspiring and focusing the team and who also understands how to liaise with the client and senior stakeholders to deliver that which they really need.
