Coaching With Confidence Workshop

There is one skill that separates managers from leaders; that separates those who are successful in creating a team of individuals who are committed to their work and the organization, from those who don’t. Every manager uses this skill occasionally. Only the best leaders know the principles needed to use this skill in the nuanced way that is necessary for great success. And to do that well requires more than just knowledge and skill, it requires confidence.

That skill is coaching.

Coaching is one of the most important roles of any leader, and when done well, one of the most personally powerful and gratifying parts the leadership role.

We often equate coaching with “dealing with performance problems” and while this is one purpose for coaching, it is a limited view. Coaching is just as applicable and important when working with a high performer as it is when working with a person who is struggling.
