Coaching for Leaders

Coaching is an essential tool in a leader’s toolbox and an important component of sustainable leadership. But the skillsets of coaching are not widely known or practiced. Further, many leaders have been taught to be the “expert”, a mindset which can often impede the learning and growth of their team members. To be most effective in leading people and teams, leaders must know when and how to act as coach rather than expert.

The audience will:
• Identify how the coaching mindset is different than the expert mindset
• Explore how to shift from the aim of “getting people to do things” to the aim of “creating the conditions” where growth, learning, and self-efficacy flourish
• Explore the basics of coaching as a leader: listening, asking powerful questions, eliciting best thinking and helping others reduce drama and ego
• Apply the basics of coaching for leaders to specific scenarios relevant to their workplace settings
