Women Lead Webinar Series

Exclusively for Premium Access Pass members

Must leaders have all the answers?

While being able to answer the many questions received each day has served leaders well, we know having an answer to ALL questions is an unrealistic expectation. This is especially challenging for leaders operating in today’s complex, uncertain, and ambiguous world.

Instead, imagine a world where leaders spend more time asking questions than answering them. This is where the leader as a coach thrives.

Join us for this webinar to learn:

• How coaching is defined in the context of leadership
• The OPEN model for coaching your employees
• A set of questions you can ask your employees
• How Google discovered that its best managers are good coaches
• How you can employ coaching in your management practice

The webinar is presented by:
