In today’s episode we are exploring the role of managers and leaders as a coach and the impact it can have on both employees and the organisation. We have trained many managers and leaders to be coaches but what impact can it have?

We cover:

• why managers and leaders want to train as a coach
• what impact do the coaching skills gained have for both the organisation and employees
• how this approach can grow leaders at all levels
• how managers and leaders can find the part of their role that feels meaningful 
• how this coaching role can promote growth even when a person is not looking to climb the corporate ladder.

Managers and leaders can make such an impact at all levels of their organisation through coaching. This doesn’t always need to be in a formal coaching container and can promote resilience, growth and solid foundation in which to work.

In this week's episode we are talking about creating coaching cultures within organisations. We know that many people who want to train as coaches today are doing so to have an impact at work and support their organisations in creating a culture where people are empowered and supported. We cover:

In this week’s episode we are talking about the role of coaching in mental health. It is a huge part of our mission to support everyday mental health in a proactive way and we know that many coaches are nervous about the role coaching can play in mental health so in this episode we want to help coaches, and leaders, understand how coaching can confidently support everyday wellbeing. We will be covering:

• Understanding what mental health is 
• The continuum of mental health
• How to hold a safe space in your coaching practice when it comes to mental health
• Working within your zone of competence
• When coaching is appropriate and not appropriate in this context
• How we can support people to resource themselves
• When it is the right time to refer on to a specialist and when we can work as a coach at the same time as specialist involvement

Coaching can be very positive for someone’s mental health as long as you understand what the person needs and work within your own sphere of experience.
