During these four online modules, you will be  guided through real work scenarios, using powerful coaching skills to help you as you lead dynamic teams, now and into the future.

This highly practical program includes ‘Coaching as a way of being’ to support respectful, inclusive teamwork and improve organisational culture.

My transparent and practical process allows leaders and professionals to practice their new skills straight away, and have the confidence to begin coaching the very next day.

After workshop support is a key part of the program to ensure your success.

This includes:

• Check-in sessions to provide ongoing support to help learning stick
• Coaching circles to work with other participants to share learnings and practice new skills
• Review session to determine the impact of the program

Meet your facilitator Annette Gray

After 30 years of facilitating adult learning and over 24 years of coaching and mentoring, I know what works to lead with a positive impact.

The value of great leadership really became apparent to me when I worked for someone who I realised was the best role model of how to lead. By asking for and respecting input, by collaborating rather than directing, and by supporting not controlling, my strengths were acknowledged, nurtured and enhanced. I felt stretched, positively challenged and fulfilled – and I performed at my best.

Discovering the concept of ‘solution focus’ 14 years ago has had a strong influence on how I view the world, how I coach people and how I train people to be coach-like.

The essence is that for people to change, it’s not about understanding the problem they present with, it’s about finding out when the problem happens less, what it is they want instead of the problem, and what previous success they can draw on to deal with the problem. Talking about solutions helps to create solutions.

My passion is to continue to create great women leaders and mentors, who really know how to do their role well, which in turn will create thriving workplaces. I believe we’re in a time of real transition – hybrid working has been a gamechanger – and we need a different style of leadership for the future.

Progressive companies are realising that, to retain employees, they need to upskill their leaders (particularly women) and mentors. Now is the time to take the opportunity to do ‘work’ differently and create more human-centred and and respectful workplaces.
