Learn to lead like a coach

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.

What’s the magic potion for engagement?

You guessed it: coaching.

So then…let me ask you a big question.

Do you wish you knew how to coach, but don’t have the bandwidth to enroll in a $10K program that takes 12+ months?

I thought so.

Here’s the good news:

You can learn the skills of coaching in just three weeks. And it’s so worthwhile, because…

Gallup research also shows us that great managers can reduce employee turnover “more effectively than any other role in your organization.”[1]

(Remember the old adage that people don’t leave crummy jobs…they leave crummy leaders?)

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.

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.

Creating a culture of connection, safety, trust and high performance starts with a leader who is willing to coach rather than command.

A leader who is clear about expectations, while being curious about possibilities.

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.

Why courageous?

Well, coaching is courageous because it calls on leaders to connect on a human level with their team members.

This means being willing to navigate the human fears and feelings that come up at work — and to do so in a calm, curious and compassionate way. This can feel uncomfortable if you haven’t developed the mindset and skills of coaching leadership!

But you can definitely capture that mindset.

Our job is to show you how.

Coaching leadership is about showing up for others, putting your ego and answers aside, and really listening to your employees. Seeing their potential with fresh eyes and an open heart.

It’s about being willing to develop — not just direct — your employees in their role.

This program will teach you how to create the space for your employees to feel seen, heard and understood.

This is what leads to engagement and high performance.

In the Courageous Coaching for Leaders program, you will be introduced to the Inspired Results Coaching System — a practical, systematized and simple structure for integrating coaching leadership into your ongoing meetings, conversations and planning cycles.

Practical.

Systematized.

Simple.

It’ll change your whole game.

Coaching leadership is courageous because it requires you to let go of those lingering beliefs that you need to be the knower of all things, and better than everyone on your team at executing said things.

When you are brave enough to let go of control and invite in other perspectives, you discover new ideas and solutions that are even better than what you could have come up with on your own.

This program will teach you how to create the space for your employees to be seen, heard and understood.

And to help you figure out the tough things — together.

Follow this path to better engagement and higher performance.

This program is informed by leading-edge research, neuroscience, appreciative inquiry, Brené Brown’s research and the coaching competencies of the International Coach Federation.

Inspired Results Group has been providing coach education in the corporate and education sectors since 2014. We are a valued partner to organizations that are embedding coaching right into their culture by training managers and leaders in fundamental coaching skills.

Here’s a sampling of what the folks at Edmonton Public Schools have said after taking coach training with us. We’ve been training EPS groups in coaching skills for seven years strong!

"The potency and clarity of the teachings were amazing. Diane was an amazing facilitator."

"The session was excellent. I present online regularly and was very impressed with the clarity, content, and variety of engagement strategies."

In a 2021 survey, Gallup pinpointed declines across the board with U.S. employee engagement, slumping from 36% in the first half of the year to 34%.[2]

Only a third of people are engaged at work.

It was the first such dip in ten years. The two most notable groups?

Healthcare workers.

And managers.

“Managers saw the steepest declines in feeling that they have clear expectations and someone who encourages their development.”[3]

And it’s not just a North American phenomenon.

Everywhere around the world, people are thinking about changing jobs because they want to be supported in their personal development — managers and employees alike.

Here’s what you’ll learn. And how. And when.

You can become a coaching leader when you implement this system consistently and embrace a coaching mindset. When you practice the skills of coaching. And when you commit to navigating conversations with intention.

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.

We lay the program out in three learning modules:

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.
