Coaching skills for Leaders

Overview:

Coaching is a skill that has one of the highest returns on investment – some studies report 800%. So it is not surprising that once your managers start coaching, you can expect breakthrough results for your entire organisation.

Unfortunately the majority of us are hardwired into believing that management means telling people what to do... after all, it’s how most of us have been brought up. Yet research demonstrates that the most effective leaders and managers are those who ‘coach’ rather than ‘tell’. This means encouraging people to work things out for themselves and find their own answers through skillfully crafted questions. Allowing people to wire new ‘maps’ into their own brain unleashes their true potential, capabilities and performance.

Aimed at Leaders and Future Leaders, this session will help to provide you with the skills to:

• Create a formal process for achieving your goals and priorities in a structured and inspiring fashion
• Understand methods to generate, and act on insight to overcome “impasses” or obstacles
• Deal with stress. Maintain balance, perspective, health and well-being
• Be confident when dealing with setbacks, conflict and difficult conversations
• Deal with performance issues in a positive and solution-focused way
• Create a sustained growth mindset attitude throughout your organisation

About Tom

You’re good with your hands…
but your brother is the intelligent one
This is what I was told as a child. Having failed my
11+ exam, and being consigned to being ‘average’, I
am living proof that anyone can be who they want to
be and achieve a destiny beyond their dreams… and
the low expectations of others.
Drawing on ground-breaking neuroscience research
and brain-based coaching methods, I transform the
behaviours of teams and individuals to deliver growth,
engagement and profitability within world-class
companies.
With a Masters in Business Analysis & Systems Design
and as a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and
Management, I combine business acumen with an
intimate knowledge of corporate culture. I am an
accredited brain and behaviour specialist, with over 25
years experience, offering a series of world-renowned
programmes to multi-national organisations,
including HSBC, Louis Vuitton, Emirates, Siemens and
Unilever.
Based on personal experience and sharing real-world
examples, I have a passion for explaining – and
overcoming – the limiting beliefs, fixed mindsets and
biases that thwart the potential of so many.
