Masterclass - Leaders as Coaches

Date and Time

Location

Vega Americas

Description

Arguably the best way to power up your business is by empowering all your team members to be leaders. Haven't we all heard that we are to present our managers with solutions and not just problems?

In our April workshop with Heléne Smuts, founder of Credo Growth, we focused on three ideas to work through the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team model:

How to create vulnerability-based trust.
How to encourage team members to share their thoughts, even when the topic is challenging.
How to start building a culture of feedback.

In this Masterclass, Heléne will provide you with tools and methods to get your teams to weigh in on problems so they can buy in and commit to the solutions. This is accomplished through the art of coaching—creating an environment where team members develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while increasing your confidence in their abilities. At the end of the session, you and your key executives will be equipped with the leadership and coaching skills to create leaders throughout your organizations, who will be empowered to share solutions - not just problems.

This is an interactive half-day workshop, where you will not only hear the stories, the science and the experiences Heléne pulls her expertise from, but you will also break into groups and practice the coaching techniques on each other.
