Becoming a Coach
Training Course
The Becoming a Coach training course is designed to help managers, emerging leaders, internal coaches, succession candidates, and high-potential professionals turn everyday conversations into moments that develop capability, ownership, and performance. Participants examine how coaching shifts leaders from fixing and directing toward listening, questioning, reflecting, goal setting, accountability, and follow-through while preserving trust, confidentiality, empathy, human judgment, and the leadership responsibility to know when to coach, guide, support, or escalate.
