Manager-as-Coach: Empowering Yourself and Others

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 | 2:00 P.M. – 3:00 P.M. BST

Free Webinar

In our previous webinar, we explored how to turn “Accidental Managers” into confident leaders. Now, we will focus on one of the most powerful drivers of leadership success—coaching.

Today’s most effective leaders don’t just manage performance, they nurture it. They model strong leadership, create space for growth, and empower their people to think, act, and succeed independently.

Research consistently shows that coaching improves engagement, accelerates development, and drives business performance. But being a manager-as-coach is different from being a traditional coach. It requires balance, self-awareness, and the ability to adapt your approach to each individual and situation.

In this session, Master Trainer Steve Wood will explore why coaching is essential to effective leadership, help you discover your unique coaching style, and share practical strategies to build meaningful coaching relationships that unlock potential, even in challenging conversations.

What You’ll Learn

  • The difference between coaching as a manager and other coaching roles.
  • Why coaching benefits not only your team, but you as a leader.
  • How to build trust and create strong coaching relationships using relationship intelligence.
  • How to create effective dialogue even when conversations get tough.
