DESCRIPTION

For years, you've asked, "I'm a principal/manager/director etc. How can I be a coach? The lines are blurry!” And I’m ready to answer and guide you through the complicated waters of straddling the roles of supervisor and coach, and of using coaching strategies to transform your organizations.


You are not “a coach,” but you want to learn how to integrate coaching strategies into your leadership toolkit. You know there are times when you need to be “the boss,” and you know there are times when it would be helpful to take a coaching stance. But you’re not sure how to determine when those times are, or what exactly “taking a coaching stance” would look like in action. This workshop will help you explore the distinction between the roles you need to play, even when your official title is boss (or supervisor, principal, manager, etc.), if you want to maximize opportunities to guide someone’s reflection and growth. You’ll practice using a few core coaching strategies that will allow you to see immediate impact in your ability to connect with those you directly supervise, develop their abilities, and be the leader you want to be.

Space is limited.
