Harness the power of coaching in your leadership style. A practical, modular programme, recognised by the Association for Coaching, delivered virtually or face-to-face.
coaching in Leadership today
For over a decade we have seen leadership change from a style of command and control to one of transformation and empowerment.
From our years of experience as a market-leading learning partner, we have seen three recent themes emerge:
- A requirement to create diverse and inclusive workplaces, where people feel coached and not dictated to
- Leaders need to listen to understand not just respond
- Employees flourish when allowed to have psychological autonomy
Leaders of the future need to be able to coach
One challenge can be convincing leaders in your organisation that coaching can have real impact and is not a touchy feely nice to have. International Law firm Allen & Overy decided to make coaching a key part of the firm’s leadership culture. A senior partner positioned it like this: ‘As a senior leader, you have roughly 100 conversations a year that are of particularly high value—in the sense that they will change your life or the life of the person you’re talking to. We want to help you acquire the skills to maximize value in those 100 conversations, to unlock previously hidden issues, to uncover new options, and to reveal fresh insights.’
Having powerful conversations is one benefit but building capacity to empower others, improve performance and model good team behaviour are also the benefits that you can expect to see in your organisation.

- Mental Health Support

- Inconsistent performance
- Leading through change
- Leading in and encouraging a diverse workplace
