As team leaders engage with coaches, they are not only creating insights. We are also transferring skills, encouraging management or leadership to use them with their direct reports and peers within the enterprise. Therefore, coaching can go beyond impacting the individual, reaching the entire company. As everyone can benefit from having a better conversation every day, using the four coaching skills in this workshop will permeate everyday conversations. • •
Leaders can build stronger relationships, enhance a psychological safety culture, increase engagement, and foster development. Leaders equipped with these four skills can aim for transformation, even in 10-minute conversations. Each coaching conversation intends to learn, grow, create awareness, and foster the courage to take actions that lead to meaningful change.

Coaching does not happen in a vacuum. Our research indicates the most successful coaching engagements have a high level of involvement from the leader's supervisor. Before leaders start the coaching process, they should have a "manager alignment" conversation about their expectations and their supervisor's coaching expectations. When coaching becomes systemic, accountability increases and outcomes are strengthened — both for the individual and the organization. We help your team create this coaching culture.
Leading Ideas: September 23rd & 29th Collaboration provides a solution-based approach to solving problems; ignites brainstorming, understanding conflict resolution, and engaging all the tools learned.
