Leader as Coach
We hear a lot about the importance of coaching, but don’t always understand the benefits of increased individual performance, accountability, and self-sufficiency, leaving others with more time to do their work. Coaching can be provided by anyone, at any level, if they know the right questions to ask, and it is a critical skill for today’s leaders. This session is designed to give leaders an understanding of what coaching is and a first-hand experience of the difference that coaching makes, as well as an understanding of the business case for coaching. Leaders are also provided with tools to begin coaching and to make the switch to a coaching mindset, while applying their learning to real-life challenges they face with their teams.
- Feeling the difference between an expert “tell” approach vs. a coach “ask” approach
- Understanding the importance of coaching and its impact on engagement and performance
- Identifying when an expert vs. coach approach is most appropriate
- Developing strategies to shift gears quickly between an expert and coach approach
- Understanding the importance of feedback and creating an environment conducive to productive feedback
- Learning a model for providing feedback that propels individuals forward
- Applying coaching skills to organization-relevant case studies
Sustainability
In order to maximize the desired behaviour change in program participants, we recommend that the learning program be supplemented with pod coaching support and our habit builder. Pod coaching provides additional momentum, accountability, and development of self-awareness while accelerating the rate of behaviour change.

Pod coaching is an effective way to provide impactful coaching while managing budget. Coach-led, these sessions create the space for individual reflection and sharing while also allowing for collaboration with peers. Talent Company coaches are skilled in leading group sessions to ensure that an environment of trust and accountability is created. Group sessions often evolve to being self-managed, which is a helpful sustainability strategy.
Here is a typical structure of a Pod Coaching session:
