COACHING MASTERY WORKSHOP:
5 November 2026 | Education Development Centre Hindmarsh
Every day, leaders are asked for the answer. And when you’re experienced, capable and busy, it’s tempting to simply give it.
But great leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about developing people who can think, solve problems and grow.
Coaching Mastery is a highly practical one-day workshop that equips leaders with the mindset, skills and tools to have powerful coaching conversations that build capability, confidence and accountability.
Whether you’re a senior executive, business owner or people leader, if you’re committed to building a team that can think, decide and act with less hand-holding, this workshop will give you the tools to get there.
Every time you jump in with the answer, you solve today’s problem, but you may miss the chance to build someone’s capability to solve tomorrow’s capability.
Coaching changes that.
What if they thought it through first, took greater ownership of their decisions, and came to you with possibilities, not just problems?
This workshop helps you become the leader who builds that capability in others.
This workshop is designed for emerging and experienced leaders who:
Some of the most powerful coaching happens in five or ten minutes. It can be a team member at your door, a colleague stuck on a decision, someone wanting to talk through their next step.
The question is: will you give them the answer, or help them think?
Coaching is a skill, not a personality trait. And skills can be learned.
Great coaches don’t just ask questions. They follow a structure that keeps the conversation focused and moves it towards action.
Create focus and clarify what the person wants from the conversation.
Go deeper into the situation, assumptions and what matters most.
Generate possibilities while identifying what’s getting in the way.
Weigh the risks, benefits and consequences of each option.
Turn thinking into action through clear ownership and commitment.
You’ll also build practical coaching skills, including powerful questioning, active listening and building accountability, that you can apply immediately in the flow of work.
This isn’t another course full of coaching theory.
Throughout the day you’ll participate in:
You’ll leave with proven frameworks, practical tools and greater confidence to handle the conversations leaders face every day.
