Coaching Skills for Managers

Curiosity is essential in coaching because it promotes open-mindedness, encouraging both coaches and coachees to explore new ideas and perspectives. It drives deep understanding by prompting insightful questions that uncover underlying issues and motivations. Curiosity fosters a culture of continuous learning and development, enhancing engagement and motivation. It also improves problem-solving by exploring various solutions and approaches, and it builds stronger relationships by demonstrating genuine interest in the coachee’s experiences and perspectives. All these factors contribute to more effective and meaningful coaching outcomes.

Curious Conversations is an introductory coaching skills course designed for managers and their teams. It introduces the key concepts of coaching; a coaching mindset, understanding and appreciating others’ perspectives, listening and powerful questioning. We explore the concept of peer-to-peer coaching using models, tools and techniques designed to motivate participants to begin to have great conversations rooted in curiosity and development. 

Our programmes always start with an initial discussion around your needs and objectives. Whether it is a fully online course for 500 people or a group of 10 looking for a blended learning experience, we can certainly help.

Check out our recent case study on how to introduce a culture of peer coaching using our Curious Conversations programme. 

The establishment of a coaching culture in your organisation can bring about a complete change in the way your business functions. When employees feel valued, supported and nurtured, they are more engaged in the business.
