Introduction to Coaching: A Practical Course for Managers

Stop Solving, Start Coaching – Get Better Results with Less Stress

As a manager, do you find yourself constantly fixing problems, answering every question, and firefighting daily issues? Do you wish your team would take more ownership, think for themselves, and step up?

Our Introduction to Coaching course is designed to give you practical, immediately usable coaching skills to transform how you lead. Coaching isn’t about adding more to your plate - it’s about changing the way you communicate so that your team becomes more independent, motivated, and high-performing.

Key Outcomes for Participants:

  • Better Conversations, Better Performance – Move from directive management to empowering coaching conversations that drive results.

  • More Ownership from Your Team – Help your team take responsibility and make better decisions, so you don’t have to do it all.

  • Less Firefighting, More Strategic Thinking – Free up your time to focus on big-picture priorities instead of being stuck in the day-to-day.

  • Tools You Can Use Immediately – Learn simple, powerful coaching techniques that fit into your existing conversations. No jargon, just practical skills.

This isn’t a theory-heavy course - it’s hands-on, practical, and focused on real-life management challenges. Through interactive exercises, live practice and discussions, and expert guidance, you’ll build confidence in using coaching techniques from day one.

Course Outline

  • The Core Coaching Skills – Listening, questioning, and guiding rather than instructing.

  • How to Have Coaching Conversations – Applying coaching in everyday interactions without formal sit-downs.

  • Handling Tough Situations – Coaching when there’s resistance, performance issues, or team conflict.

  • Making It Work in Your Role – Tailoring coaching to fit your leadership style and team dynamics.

Who Is It For?

This course is perfect for managers, team leaders, and anyone who wants to lead in a way that empowers and engages their team. No prior coaching experience needed—just a willingness to try new approaches and see real change.

Coaching isn’t about working harder, or doing more - it’s about working smarter. Give yourself and your team the tools to succeed.
