Hudson Institute of Coaching

Last week our CEO Michael Hudson hosted a rich discussion about how coaching can transform sales leadership, equipping sales teams with the skills needed to drive performance every day. A huge thank you to our panelists Jeff Jaworski (Former Global Director of Enablement & Sales Coaching, Google), Andee Harris (Former CEO, Challenger Inc.), and Mike Lombardi (EdTech Vertical Leader at Amazon Web Services) for sharing their expertise on how to integrate coaching into fast-paced, high-stakes sales environments. Some key topics covered: ? Why coaching efforts often fail in sales organizations and how to align coaching with the fast-paced, results-driven sales culture. ? Practical strategies for integrating coaching into sales leadership without disrupting performance or short-term targets. ? The role of sales leaders as coaches and how they can shift from directive leadership to a coaching mindset to drive sustained performance. ? How organizations are successfully using coaching to improve sales outcomes, with real-world examples and actionable next steps. Missed the conversation?

Does your organization prioritize psychological safety or comfort? In a thought-provoking new?Forbes?article, our CEO?Michael Hudson?challenges leaders to examine their definition of psychological safety. "Real learning doesn't happen in the comfort zone," Michael writes. "It happens when we feel safe enough to take risks, go out on a limb, and sometimes disagree." Instead of expecting to make everyone comfortable all the time, Michael argues we should strive for Professor Peter Hawkins's concept of "psychological maturity" - where support and challenge become intertwined to drive breakthrough performance. Read his insights on how leaders can create environments where productive discomfort becomes a catalyst for growth and innovation. https://lnkd.in/gptfYGMD

Evidence shows that when sales leaders coach, sales team performance improves. Yet, two disconnects hold many sales organizations back: ????What it means to coach - many leaders believe they are coaching when they are actually directing, advising, and mentoring. ????When it's appropriate to coach - many leaders are under the impression that there's no room for coaching when the pressure and pace are at their max; in fact, this is precisely when coaching can have the greatest impact. Join us to discuss how coaching can impact sales performance and what sales leaders need to develop the skills and put them into practice.
