Building kinder workplaces by learning to use a coaching approach with your team

Using a coaching approach helps you build a kinder workplace in a whole range of ways. Here are just a few of them:

1. Coaching encourages active listening and leads to more effective communication. As you practice this approach, you’ll refine your ability to ask powerful questions, fostering open dialogue and understanding among team members.
2. Coaching helps you build a culture of continuous learning by embracing mistakes as lessons to learn from, instead of something to be ashamed of.
3. A coaching mindset fosters an environment where team members feel empowered to take ownership of their work. By guiding rather than dictating, you can give your team more autonomy over their work.
4. A sense of autonomy in at least some areas is one of the key factors in building better morale and employee engagement. You can customize your approach to fit each person’s level of experience in their role.
5. Building psychological safety and building a coaching culture go hand-in-hand, so your work in adopting a coaching mindset leads to greater psychological safety for your team.

And so, now I'm excited to share that registration is officially open for the next cohort of Developing a Coaching Approach to Leadership!

To celebrate this and create space for an open conversation about coaching - about coaching in general, how a coaching approach to leadership can benefit your team, small steps you can take today to develop these skills, or about the program! - I'm planning two drop in Zoom sessions next week.
