Leading Through Coaching: Practical Skills for Managers

Introduction

In today’s evolving workplace, effective managers do more than direct - they coach, empower, and develop their people.

Organisations increasingly recognise that adopting a coaching-led management style fosters higher engagement, accountability, and performance compared to traditional ‘command and control’ approaches.

This new virtual interactive workshop equips managers and team leaders with the core coaching skills needed to bring out the best in their teams.

Combining practical exercises, group discussion, and live coaching practice, this session will show you how to create a supportive yet challenging environment that encourages ownership, builds capability, and drives sustained results.

You will also receive feedback and develop a personal action plan to integrate coaching behaviours into your daily leadership practice to ensure you can confidently apply what you learn.

Designed primarily for line managers and team leaders, the workshop is also highly relevant for HR and L&D professionals seeking to strengthen coaching capability within their organisations.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive broadcast will cover the following:

• Transitioning from traditional management to a coaching approach - recognise the impact on team engagement, motivation, and performance
