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 doing 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 powerful and gratifying parts of the leadership role.

Most of us, the lucky ones for sure, have a personal experience with a highly effective coach. And from that experience, we know the value and impact those people can have for others – and organizations.

Unfortunately, too many organizations wish they had more of these people, rather than thinking about developing coaching skills in all their leaders.

Coaching isn’t about a person.

Coaching is a mindset/skillset/habitset combination that can be developed in ourselves and others.

And the organizations that invest in that development will profit from more effective, resilient and confident leaders and team members.

But even when organizations do invest, they too often miss the mark by making it only about developing skills.

Developing great coaches requires developing more than a set of skills, but a mindset of coaching values and the confidence to apply those skills in the real world of work.

Even when it is hard, and even when it seems time is short.

It is this trifecta of mindset, skillset and habitset that has guided our creation of the Coaching With Confidence Workshop.

In this learning experience, we focus on all three of these components to help leaders become the coaches they would like to be, and that your organization needs them to be. People will leave with a toolkit and the confidence to apply it in the real world.

When you look at the descriptions of the parts of this experience below you will notice we focus on more than just the pure coaching skills – because our experience shows us that more than skills are needed.

We can deliver this program as described below for your organization as either a two day in-person experience or in a series of 6 two-hour virtual modules to be scheduled and spaced in a way that work best for your people and organization.

While the “off-the-shelf” program is described below, tailoring both the content and learning experience to meet your needs is in our DNA. You can learn more about our approaches to collaborating and partnering with you here. 

During the workshop, we'll cover:
