• Are your team or your peers as motivated and engaged as they could be?

• Does your leadership need new depth?

• Are you looking for ways to improve productivity & innovation?

Learning the basic skills of how to coach others is a powerful addition to any leader’s skill set – in this course, you can expect to learn the fundamentals of coaching and how to lead in a coaching way when the occasion demands it.

Why a journey and not simply a workshop to learn basic coaching skills?

Within the frame of our group learning context, we have designed an introductory coach skills training process consisting of the two-day “Leader as Coach” workshop, followed up by three, one-day “Coaching Circles” every 6 weeks after the workshop.

Dates and locations of the circles to be finalized with the participants of each circle.

This effectively changes the Leader as Coach workshop from an event into a 4-month leadership journey that does result in lasting behavioural change in those who are open to such changes.
