COACHING PRESENCE

Develop your coaching presence to transform your leadership skills
­­­­­­­­

You can change people with your coaching. But the most powerful style of leadership and coaching that creates this impact requires something new. Coaching Presence will help you discover that in yourself.

It’s an uncertain world and we are all facing an unpredictable post-pandemic future. What worked before won’t work again – too much has changed. Teams and individuals need leaders who can coach. 

Our collective future requires team leaders who provide more ongoing development in conversations that they find engaging, stimulating, thought-provoking and supportive. We need leaders to be honest in ways that are helpful and who don’t avoid the issues that are important. We need leaders to provide more coaching support, both 1-2-1 and in team contexts.

Coaching Presence: learn how to expand your reach, strength and presence

The future leadership and coaching skills required to succeed include

• Learning how to manage diverse individuals inclusively
• Embedding the power of agenda-free listening
• Listening without blame and judgement
• Creating support, openness and psychological safety
• Conscious and intentional use of language that supports inclusion and engagement of all.

However, as much as we all want to deliver these new skills, there is an issue. It can be challenging for many leaders who wonder ‘how can I become a coach when I have my objectives to deliver’?

Teams need coach leaders who have presence

Teams need leaders to engage in levels of development that will shift their teams to a higher level. The way to do this is to develop your coaching presence. Leaders with a coaching presence can build teams performance in a shifting landscape, at the same time as growing their engagement and inclusivity.  

If you have a hunger to be the sort of leader who seeks to move to your team to a higher level of development, capability and results, we invite you, as a leader, to work with Harthill to develop a deeper level of leadership capability through coaching.
