The term ‘coaching’ gets bandied about a lot when we talk about growing and developing our teams – but do we really know what we mean by it? Do we know how to coach, or why and when we should employ this skill?

Nik will give an overview of what it means to coach as a leader, and the foundational skills you need to develop in order to be an effective coach for your team.

You will come away from this session with some practical ideas for adding this essential skill to your leadership toolkit. 

Personal reflection questions

1. What one thing will you try to bring coaching skills into your day-to-day management conversations?
2. What is the first step you will take towards becoming a leader who coaches?
