Managing leadership transitions
Now, more than ever, the world needs you to feel confident in your coaching skills.
It’s time for you to master the skill of coaching. It’s not sufficient to just learn how to coach. Or how coaching works. Or why it’s important.
Unfortunately, there’s no simple solution. There’s no book you can buy, TED talk you can watch, or stand-alone workshop you can attend that will enable you to feel confident enough to coach your team. And this is NOT the kind of coaching that you can outsource to a professional or peer coach.
Read more about why books and other programs are not sufficient, and the four questions you must answer “yes!” to before embarking on this learning journey.
We rise to the challenge by:
adapting ongoing learning to address your implementation challenges,
providing regular, inspiring, thought-provoking nudges that keep new habits top of mind, and
partnering you with brilliant coaches to personally guide your learning throughout the program.
Don’t just take our word for it!
The experts agree…
Coaching is a must-have skill for leaders who want to enable long-term excellent team performance. Here’s what a few voices at Harvard Business Review say about it:
