Leading with a Coaching Style Series

Today, many leaders and executives face a growing number of issues and challenges, exacerbated by the level of economic and political uncertainty, such as:

• low levels of trust and psychological safety, making it harder to align and delegate;
• adjusting to changing work-from-home expectations;
• misunderstandings and miscommunication between employees;
• dissatisfaction of employees with the corporate culture, the atmosphere in a team, working conditions, etc.

If issues such as these are left unresolved, there is a significant impact on productivity, engagement and the organisation’s results. That is why it is essential for leaders and managers to periodically question themselves, “How satisfied are my employees?” and “What might I do differently to increase satisfaction?”

While it is important that the company’s development strategy is reconciled with the current managerial situation, as leaders, we need to be able to swiftly identify & implement ways to engage with these types of issues.

The Centre for Coaching’s Leading with a Coaching Style series is designed to support leaders in the development of their coaching conversation skills. We created six individual short courses to enable executives, HRs, and leaders to build trust, align and delegate, give and receive feedback and hold all conversations that matter holistically, amplifying capacity to resolve the complex issues and challenges we face.

This series of workshops is for you if you are an Executive, Manager, or Emerging Leader who is:

• seeking to develop and grow your teams through the proven principles of transformative coaching conversations
• looking for better ways to get things done in a more engaging and inspiring way
• curious about how to become more effective in multiple leadership situations
• looking to become more efficient as a leader

Our interactive courses are registered as individual UCT short courses. Practice-based modules have the following flexibility:

• It is highly recommended to attend all 7 contact days, as each day develops and deepens an important leadership coaching skill.
• Any 1-day module can be taken as an individual, self-contained course.
• You can select and combine the courses that best strengthen a specific capacity you would like to build.
• All these conversations are based on the theoretical foundations of our Integral Coaching ® approach.
• Courses will be run using our world-class live-virtual, fully interactive online teaching methodology using Zoom.
