Traditional command-and-control leadership styles no longer drive the innovation and problem-solving today’s teams require. This session presents a coaching-led approach to management – an accessible, high-impact style that helps managers unlock greater independence and productivity in their teams.

We’ll explore:

  • What coaching as a manager looks like in action
  • The communication skills required to be an effective coach
  • A framework for any coaching conversation

You’ll learn to manage in a way that saves you time and gets better results.

“Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It's helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
- Tim Gallwey
