Su equipo es escéptico acerca de los programas de coaching de liderazgo. ¿Cómo puedes convencerlos de los beneficios?

The first thing that needs to happen is that the leader has to have a coach experience. You can’t relay the importance if you don’t know it for yourself. Once that is done you can share with others the value of having a coach and the exponential growth associated with that relationship. Secondly, you have to know what type of coach your people require. Having the right coach in your life/career stage is crucial to proper development and experience.

The workforce is changing and GenZ employees want to feel empowered and appreciated. True effective coaching helps a leader meet their team members where they are and empower them by using coaching techniques to shift perspectives and derive their own conclusions for taking action.

When the leadership coaching program is successful in supporting the needs of leaders clearly and directly addressing the concerns is relatively easy and straightforward. If the program is very new perhaps hearing the concerns and gaining agreement to trial it for a short period would build trust and provide an opportunity to showcase.

Use these proven strategies to convince your stakeholders about the benefits of adopting a Leadership Coaching Programme: 1. Share success stories and testimonials from previous participants who have greatly benefited from the program. 2.

Explain how the program can enhance crucial leadership skills development, such as decision-making, communication and strategic thinking. 4. Illustrate how participation in the program can open up new career opportunities and pathways for your team. 5.

I highlight that leadership coaching isn’t just about improving leadership skills; it’s a comprehensive approach to personal development. Through coaching, team members will gain a deeper understanding of themselves, including their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. This self-awareness is crucial for both personal and professional development.

Organizations that support personal growth within their individual staff are often operating from a proactive approach to achieving outcomes. Without supporting employees growth, most organizations are leading through reacting to problems only as they unfold in real time. By seeking to build personal and professional development into normal culture, the organization places its self higher level outcomes that have never been seen in the organization. It’s a big leap to shift from reactive to proactive but coaching and training can take you there.

Leadership coaching isn't just about becoming a better leader; it's about personal growth. Through coaching, team members gain self-awareness, set personal goals, and receive professional guidance to achieve them.

The key to successful learning or coaching is creating a genuine interest among the participants - create a 'pull'. To achieve this, they need to emotionally connect with the 'why' and the 'how'. Forcing learning and coaching onto people rarely works ('push'). Reflect on your school days, how did you react when you were simply told what to learn and when? Respect for people is fundamental. By fostering an environment where individuals understand the purpose and method behind their learning, we can create a pull and a more positive and engaged response.

I’m not a fan of the term “convincing”. Sharing high level examples of how coaching has been shown to be successful can help to normalize its need and its value while also opening the mind to the possibilities. Coaching is supporting what is already within someone. The best of the best of the best have coaches to help them see what they aren’t seeing from where they stand. Whether leaders, executives or sports stars - they strive to always be growing and continuing to be the best they can be.

You might like to invite leaders who have greatly benefited from coaching to your next team meeting to talk about their real life experiences. Encourage the leader to share a balanced view of what worked and what they would have approached differently. There is nothing like real life storytelling to get buy in and inspire your team

I would recount specific examples of leaders who have transformed their behavior and achieved significant improvements in their leadership effectiveness as a result of coaching. Personal stories can be powerful in illustrating the potential impact. You can also share testimonials you curate from videos and articles from reputable journals.

Todo líder sin necesidad de mencionar ningún caso, que haya tenido coaching de liderazgo presenta algo muy básico: Siente lo que dice y aún más importante: Transmite sentirlo (aunque incluso, no lo sienta) Sonríe, se mueve, mueve los brazos con sentido, pregunta... Esto ciertamente puede aprenderse a base de vivencias pero, se trata de la máxima aptitud a desarollar en un plan de coaching de liderazgo; la capacidad de transmitir y ser escuchado.

Ongoing support is imperative to long term change and growth. Every tough situation is unique. Leaders can’t just plug and play each conversation and we bring our whole selves to each situation which means our own emotional state and clarity of thinking will shift each time. Being able to prepare ahead when possible, debrief after and celebrate what went well and identify learnings from what went poorly, or even slightly sideways, helps build neuro pathways. These give the brain more solid and experienced choice for the next challenges.

When I was an interim CEO, I used to call the entire organisation into a first meeting. There I would ask them 2 simple question: Is this the best possible environment for you to thrive, as an individual? And is this the best possible environment for you to thrive, as a collective? The answers would invariably by no, or a version of no. I would then ask them why, to invariably get a myriad of differing opinions. I would then ask them for the solutions to these problems, and that's where the divisions start to become clear to all. I would then ask them that if leadership coaching would help solve these in a much faster and intentional way, would they be open to it?

Start by emphasizing how leadership coaching is not just a theoretical exercise but a practical tool designed to enhance personal and professional growth. Coaching programs provide leaders with actionable strategies and insights tailored to their specific challenges, enabling them to navigate complex situations with confidence and clarity. Furthermore, leadership coaching is an investment in the future success of both individuals and the organization as a whole. When leaders grow, they naturally inspire and uplift their teams, creating a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Coaching helps leaders unlock their full potential, equipping them with the emotional intelligence and resilience needed to lead effectively.

As a leader you could also carve out time to check in regularly with your team members who are receiving coaching. You could use the time to hold them accountable for their coaching actions and commit to enabling them to achieve their coaching milestones by removing any roadblocks that might be getting in the way of them achieving their coaching goals

Maintain an open dialogue with team members by asking them how they are feeling about leadership coaching, and whether there are any concerns that they still have. Address those concerns as needed.
