Are you feeling disconnected from your team? Is it challenging to motivate your employees when you aren’t seeing them consistently? Are you feeling overwhelmed as a manager because you’re taking responsibility for deliverables?
You are not alone. Leading and managing through constant change and uncertainty has created a lack of engagement and disconnect across many organizations worldwide.
It is time to change how you lead.
There really is a silver bullet to running a culture of high performance and high development.
It’s always the manager.
That’s what Gallup CEO Jim Clifton wrote in 2021.
Here’s what else we know:
- Leaders who coach have the ability to motivate the people around them.
- Managers who coach create goals for their team — and actually achieve them.
- Leaders who coach develop more leaders.
- Managers who coach experience less overwhelm and more fulfillment.
- Leaders who coach can navigate fears and feelings with calm confidence.
- Managers who coach deliver feedback that is welcomed.
- Leaders who coach inspire a culture of connection.
- Managers who coach create high performing teams.
It’s time for you to learn how to coach, too.

The best time for change is now
Bring your team together, get people fired up about tackling challenges with a sense of autonomy, and hold onto your awesome employees…with the Courageous Coaching for Leaders program.
Create a culture of connection, safety, trust and high performance starts with a leader who is willing to coach rather than command.
Be a leader who is clear about expectations, while being curious about possibilities.
Be a leader who can be a thinking partner, and co-create solutions — rather than dictating the answers.
This style of leadership demands a commitment to learning the mindset, skills and model for coaching. And this course — Courageous Coaching for Leaders — guides you in doing exactly that.
It’s designed for people managers and senior leaders who are ready to embrace a courageous style of leadership that fosters connection and high performance.

The Inspired Results Coaching System
is designed to make it easy for leaders to coach their employees and create inspired results – together. This coaching system will support you to build clarity, coaching and celebration into your leadership approach so that you can truly activate the best thinking, action and outcomes from the people you lead.
When you walk away from this program you will have:
- A clear strategy and system for integrating coaching into your daily routine.
- Confidence to navigate courageous conversation and apply coaching techniques to your next conversation — right outta the gates!
- Clarity on how to integrate coaching into your busy schedule. (You didn’t think we’d forget that part, did you?)
- A re-energized desire to engage in conversations with a new mindset.
- A practical framework to support coaching conversations in real time.
Leading like a coach (not a commander!) is the way to build engagement, trust and high performance. And the IR Coaching System will give you the tools to become a coaching leader.
Here’s how Courageous Coaching for Leaders works.
This three-week intensive is designed with adult learning principles in mind. We will activate all of your learning senses with reading, listening, observing and experiencing the fundamental concepts of coaching leadership.
We host the program on our Courageous Coaching for Leaders Hub, where you will access micro-videos, articles, webinar recordings and the Inspired Results Coaching System.
Our live trainings take place from 8 a.m.–11 a.m. PST on three bi-weekly Friday's:
Webinar one (Friday, September 23rd) – Context, Clarity and Skills for Coaching
Webinar two (Friday, October 7th) – A Coaching Model and Mindset
Webinar three (Friday, October 21st) – Integrating and Celebration
You’ll also work with a coaching partner(s) to practice coaching between our live trainings. Remember, practice is what makes the skills stick!
And you’ll retain access to everything inside the Courageous Coaching for Leaders Hub for three months following the program.

Introduction to the Inspired Results Coaching System
In this module, we’ll show you why coaching leadership is effective. Lotta good research here! We’ll also introduce you to the first step in the IR Coaching System, along with the two essential coaching skills for all coaching managers.

The Mindset and Model for Coaching Leadership
Here, we introduce you to the mindset of a coaching leader. The IR Coaching System model supports every coaching conversation you engage in, while building on the coaching skills from module one.

Integrating Coaching Leadership with Consistency
This final module integrates the skills, mindset and conversation model into a systematized framework, so that coaching leaders can implement these tools in their everyday plans and processes.
Meet your courageous leader for this inspiring learning experience.
Great to meet you here. I am Diane Lloyd, founder and head coach at Inspired Results Group. I am a voracious learner and have been fortunate to train with some of the best. In 2016 I became a Conversational Intelligence® Coach, and in 2019 I had the honour of training with Brené Brown and becoming a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. I also managed to fit in a master’s degree in leadership along the way.
I joined the faculty at Royal Roads University in 2019, where I teach executive coaching to leaders and provide mentor coaching as they develop their skills and pursue credentialing with the International Coach Federation.
Not everyone who coaches can teach coaching. I have been actively involved in creating coach-education curriculum and developing coaching leaders for the past seven years. I believe that coaching is a skill that EVERY leader deserves to learn and practice. I am passionate about sharing this approach to leadership and bringing my training with Brené Brown into the arena of coach training for leaders.
Courageous Coaching for Leaders is a blend of all my learning in the company of outstanding thought leaders, combined with my own experience creating coach-training programs that are engaging, practical and implementable immediately after day one.
Like we say here at Inspired Results Group: it’s all about ease, not efforting!




Count me in!Come learn with a dedicated group of professionals committed to showing up as coaching leaders for their teams.
Courageous Coaching for Leaders is jam-packed with immediately useful skills to take you from command-and-control…to inquire-and-inspire — just the way it should be.
I hope to see you there.
