About this workshop
This highly immersive workshop prepares participants with the fundamentals of coaching while demonstrating the power of a coaching relationship, both for the coach and the coachee.
Participants learn what coaching is, why it matters, and when it's the right approach with a direct report or colleague. Then they put it into practice with the GROW model and live coaching in pairs.

How to Be a Better Listener

Two weeks after running the interactive workshop on How to Ask Great Quality Questions, a member of our Finance Team nudged our Head of Engineering in a meeting by saying ‘Hey, I think you just asked a closed question. How might you rephrase that to an open question?’
I have recently participated in Elevate's coaching course, which was exemplary. I came away with actionable tools and training to engage structured conversations.
