2.4 Coaching & Developing Others
Coaching & Developing Others is the capability to support learning, growth, and performance through purposeful guidance, feedback, and challenge. It combines developmental intent, structured conversations, and accountability.

Coaching Conversations equips managers with the skills and frameworks required to develop people through structured, goal-focused dialogue.
The course explores the uniqueness of coaching as a leadership practice — distinct from directing, advising, or evaluating. Participants learn how coaching shifts the focus from giving answers to facilitating insight, ownership, and self-directed improvement.
Core elements of the coaching process are introduced, including establishing trust, clarifying goals, exploring current reality, identifying options, and defining commitment. Participants practice applying foundational coaching models and questioning techniques within everyday business conversations, such as performance discussions, development planning, and problem-solving meetings.
Through guided exercises and real workplace scenarios, managers learn how to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, manage silence, and support accountability without taking control. Emphasis is placed on integrating coaching into routine leadership interactions rather than treating it as a separate activity.
Participants leave with practical coaching structures, conversation templates, and a clearer understanding of when to coach, when to direct, and when to provide feedback.
Content and activities are adapted to different experience levels and language proficiency.
