RALEIGH, N.C./COLUMBIA, S.C.–The Carolinas Credit Union League has launched a new coaching program, TalentGuided.
The league said TalentGuided is an accessible, affordable coaching program that connects employees at any career stage with a professional coach to help them refine their goals and purpose; boost their effectiveness as a leader; and maximize their personal and professional capacity.
“TalentGuided participants lead their own experiences, selecting their preferred coach and session package, and setting the benchmarks for program success,” the leagues said in a statement.
According to the CCUL, TalentGuided was first announced by CCUL SVP of Professional Development Lauren DeAngelis at the Management Association of Carolinas Credit Unions’ Fall Conference in 2019.
“More organizations are using coaches as a key strategy to help develop leadership capabilities and increase the performance and productivity of their employees,” DeAngelis said. “Data from the Center for Management and Organizational Effectiveness has shown training plus coaching led to an increase of 88% in productivity versus 23% from training alone. There are great benefits to credit unions and their staff that incorporate coaching as part of employee development.”
Piloted at 2 Credit Unions
The league initially piloted the program with two credit unions: Piedmont Advantage Credit Union and SC Telco Federal Credit Union.
“We’re so glad to have the early support from Piedmont Advantage and SC Telco,” said DeAngelis. “This was our opportunity to get their feedback, walk through the process, and make sure the program is the best it can be ahead of launch.”
According to the CCUL, responses from pilot participants have been overwhelmingly positive, noting coach compatibility, an experience that is exceeding expectations, and how coaching is helping them sharpen their goals and focus.
