Developing and Coaching High-Potential Employees Training in the UAE
Classroom cohorts in Dubai · live online · in-house anywhere in the UAE
High-potential employees are an organization's future leaders, but potential fades quickly without stretch, support and honest feedback. This programme shows managers how to spot and develop that potential deliberately. You will learn to distinguish high performance from high potential, use fair assessment tools such as nine-box grids and learning agility indicators, and avoid the biases that overlook quieter talent. Practice sessions pair participants as coach and coachee on real development goals, with observer feedback after each round to sharpen questioning and listening skills.
Development sessions design individual plans that combine stretch assignments, job rotation, mentoring and formal learning, while coaching modules build practical skills in questioning, listening and goal-setting with the GROW model. You will also link high-potential programmes to succession planning and retention so investment is not lost to competitors. Line managers, HR and talent professionals, internal coaches and senior leaders who sponsor development programmes will benefit most. Participants leave with coaching frameworks, a development plan template and a clearer view of their own talent pipeline.
