What are the elements of a successful workplace coaching session? What makes an employee eager to grow and change vs. stuck in their ways?

I’ll answer both questions. Even better? I’ll teach you exactly how to facilitate a coaching conversation at work that actually uncovers potential and gets results from your people.

You might think you’re already coaching, supporting and mentoring your people through weekly huddles and individual touchpoints, but the truth is, if you aren’t doing these five things, you’re not actually coaching:

Making space for intentional, strategic thinking.
Analyzing comfort zones.
Facilitating the three types of change.
Developing self-awareness in talent and purpose.
Designing Edge Moves.

From knowing the four types of questions to ignite powerful thinking and “aha” moments, to understanding the psychology behind change resistance, you’ll have everything you need to start coaching your team successfully.
