Learning Objectives

Coaching as a Leadership Practice

  • Build clarity on what it means to lead with a coaching mindset and how it differs from directing, mentoring, or advising.
  • Explore how coaching strengthens trust, psychological safety, engagement, and performance, and how leaders can intentionally shift from solving problems to enabling ownership and growth.

Coaching Through an Inclusive Lens

  • Understand how identity, cultural norms, generational context, and neurodiversity shape how individuals experience feedback, authority, and development.
  • Learn practical strategies to adapt coaching approaches to meet diverse needs, challenge assumptions, and create more equitable and effective coaching relationships.

Preparing for Coaching Conversations

  • Develop a simple, structured approach to prepare for coaching conversations by clarifying intent, desired outcomes, assumptions, and the balance between support and accountability.
  • Learn how to recognize common leadership habits such as over-directing or rescuing, and how to shift toward questions that build ownership and independent thinking.

Coaching Conversations - 4 Step Model

  • Apply a practical coaching framework (Inquiry, Acknowledgement, Advocacy, Problem-Solving) designed to guide consistent, high-quality conversations processes, promote inclusion, and create a high performance culture.
