Coaching for Leadership

Why Coaching for Leadership?

Leadership can be deeply rewarding and demanding.

You’re expected to support performance, develop others, navigate conflict, hold wellbeing in mind and lead through change.

Often without much space to think about how you’re doing it.

Leaders come to this training because they want to:

Empower others without micromanaging
Have better conversations
Build accountability in their teams
Support wellbeing without becoming the therapist
Lead in a way that feels human as well as effective
Support different ways of thinking of doing

Coaching offers a different way of leading.

What is Coaching for Leadership?

When asked about the attributes of their ideal manager, most people describe a coach: someone who develops their potential, sets clear expectations, builds trust and supports them to take responsibility.

Rather than the leader as expert who directs and solves, the coaching leader develops others’ thinking, enables innovation and shares responsibility.

Coaching becomes part of everyday leadership in 1:1s, performance reviews, team development and conversations.
