By teaching and mentoring them on how to coach. Increasingly, coaching skills are lauded as essential leadership skills. With millennials moving up into managerial and executive roles, the old top-own, command-and-control style of leadership is giving way to a more collaborative, coach-approach to developing talent.
Ask emerging leaders to describe the figures who have most influenced their lives, and you’ll hear statements like:
“They asked great questions.”
“They listened more than they spoke.”
“They walked their talk.”
“They were authentic.”
“They let you know they cared.”
“They encouraged you to think for yourself and learn from your mistakes.”
These are the qualities that make a great coach. Of course, coaching and training are two different skillsets. Carol is equally adept at both. She designs and delivers experiential coaching skills workshops that managers, leaders, and fellow coaches describe as “impactful,” “innovative,” “immediately useful,” “transformational,” and “fun.”
