Coaching skills to help you and your team work smarter

Coaching Skills for Leaders is an interactive session and helps leaders understand how to more effectively manage their teams & stakeholders, while simultaneously empowering people to take responsibility for their piece of the business. By training in coaching skills, leaders will be able to shift their mindset from a more task-focused, directorial style of leadership to a coaching style, which enables team members to think for themselves, try out new skills, and feel a sense of ownership and achievement from their work.

What People Will Learn:

• Understand value of coaching in leadership
• Develop baseline skills to become “leader as coach”:
  • When to use coaching
  • Listening Skills
  • Building Trust
  • Questioning Skills
• Tips to improve communication through coaching

Coaching enables us to communicate with our teams and stakeholders with curiosity and an open mind. Through the power of questioning we empower others to clarify and define what is most important for them, and give them ownership to take appropriate action in business (and life). A coaching style allows peoples’ ideas and opinions to be heard and motivates team members to be both creative and accountable. Rather than focusing on the ideas of a few people at the top, coaching opens the discussion to take ideas from multiple sources and generates more creative solutions to business-challenges.

Coaching skills are beneficial as a leader, but also when working with a variety of stakeholders (clients, investors, vendors, competitors, etc) or even with friends and family. Once we learn to get curious about what someone else thinks or understands we increase trust in the relationship, tackle challenges together as a team, and come up with more innovative solutions.

Benefits of coaching at work:

• • Empowers team member to commit to the business goals
  • Fosters problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Increased happiness & morale at work
  • Supports employees to reach full potential
  • Promotes culture of learning and development
