A practical workshop that helps leaders shift from giving answers to unlocking insight.

“The best leaders are not coming up with answers, they are coming up with great questions.” — Tim Brown
Most managers want to be empowering, but under time pressure, they often slip into fixing, advising or directing. The leaders who can unleash the full potential of their people do something different: they coach. They listen deeply without jumping to conclusions. They ask questions that expand the other’s thinking. And they trust the resourcefulness of the person they’re coaching.
This fast-paced, practical workshop introduces the essential habits and mindsets behind great coaching conversations. You’ll explore what it means to move from telling to coaching, practise powerful listening and questioning techniques, and learn how to resist the urge to jump in with solutions.
Through guided practice and reflection, you’ll discover how to make every conversation a catalyst for growth, helping your people build confidence, clarity, and ownership.
By the end, you’ll leave with a simple coaching framework and practical tools you can use immediately to have more impactful, empowering conversations.
What you’ll gain:
A clear understanding of what makes a conversation coaching, not managing or mentoring.
Insight and practice with the three levels of listening and how to stay fully present.
Practical tools to ask powerful, thought-provoking questions.
Strategies to manage the “rescuer reflex” and avoid giving premature advice.
A simple structure for guiding real coaching conversations.
Confidence to apply micro-coaching moments in everyday leadership interactions.
Ideal for:
Leaders, managers, and team leads who want to:
Build stronger, more trusting relationships with their teams.
Develop coaching skills that drive engagement and accountability.
Shift from directing and advising to enabling insight and ownership.
Format:
Duration: 2 - 2,5 hours
