Coaching Skills for Leaders — Fundamentals

Two Days That Change How Your Managers Have Conversations.

Coaching Skills for Leaders Fundamentals

Programme details

Duration: 2 days (in-house delivery)
Group size: 9–15 participants
Prerequisites: None — designed for leaders, not professional coaches
Methodology: Integral Coaching™ + ICF Core Competencies

The best managers do not give answers — they ask better questions and listen with genuine attention. Not as a technique. As real curiosity about the person across from them. This 2-day program teaches the core listening and questioning skills that underpin ICF-credentialed coaching — adapted for leaders who manage people, not professional coaches pursuing certification.

Built on the Integral Coaching™ methodology, aligned with ICF Core Competencies, and delivered by ICF-credentialed coaches (MCC, PCC, ACC) with professional business backgrounds from our global network.

50% of employees leave because of their manager (Gallup). Not because the manager lacks a framework. Because the manager does not listen, does not ask, and does not create the conditions where honest conversation is possible. This program changes that.

What You Will Learn

Day 1: Foundations
The Integral Coaching™ framework in a leadership context. ICF Core Competencies in practice. Powerful questions — genuine inquiry that comes from real curiosity about the person across from you. Active listening that changes conversations because you are actually hearing what is not being said. The S.A.F.E.T.Y. model (Security, Autonomy, Fairness, Esteem, Trust, You) — the neuroscience of what triggers threat or reward in the people you lead. The Three-Domain Framework: how coaching skills apply differently when managing self, managing others, and managing the business.
Day 2: Practice
Live coaching exercises with real-time feedback from experienced coaches. Integration into daily leadership rhythm — where coaching fits and where directive management is still the right call. Personal 90-day action plan. Optional AI Coach System onboarding for continued practice.

For HR/L&D Leaders

The fastest way to build coaching skills across your management layer. Harvard research shows only 2% of information shared in traditional adult learning environments leads to changed behavior after one year — but that figure rises to 40% when coaching is part of the process. You will see the difference in how managers run their 1:1s, give feedback, and develop their people — within weeks, not quarters. Pairs with the Advanced program for deeper development, 1:1 Leadership Coaching for individual follow-up, and AI Coach System for sustained practice.

Who This Is For

Managers and team leaders who want to develop their teams through coaching rather than directive management. No prior coaching training needed.
