WHY?
Why is developing Coaching Skills important?
Strong coaching skills are key to developing people-centred, high-performing teams. Without them, managers may fall into the trap of micromanaging or over-directing—limiting their team's autonomy and motivation. Successful coaching helps to unlock potential, foster ownership, and strengthen team performance through deeper, more meaningful conversations.
As an L&D manager, investing in coaching capability is a strategic way to grow leadership strength across your organisation. Coaching conversations improve engagement, trust, and learning and can support your goals around wellbeing, inclusion, and team development.
Coaching is also highly complementary to trauma-informed and psychologically informed approaches, helping to create a culture where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to learn.
