Coaching Skills Transform Leadership Approach
A pivotal moment in my leadership journey was undergoing coaching-skills training, which profoundly transformed my approach and led me to introduce coaching-skills training for other leaders in my organization.
Coaching goes beyond encouragement; it involves validating, supporting, and empowering employees. It fosters communication, reflection, and self-correction, helping individuals become more autonomous and take ownership of their work. This approach also cultivates a more confident workforce, as people develop greater self-belief in their abilities. I also noticed that employees became more aware of their strengths and weaknesses, better equipped to tackle challenges, and more committed to their ongoing development.
