This insightful course explores the meaning of empowered leadership in any setting (business, non-profit, community, family) — and the role a coach plays in supporting this client growth. When clients grow their leadership capacity for and understanding, they can create the kinds of change and success that is possible with collaboration, teamwork, colleagues, sub-contractors, and employees.
An empowered leader knows that it’s not about taking control or being the loudest voice in the room. Learn to coach leaders to greater effectiveness using the distinctions and impact of Essence Leading rather than Ego Leading.
Learn the coaching supports for cultivating and articulating vision, strengthening integration and action, deepening motivation, empowering communication, designing effective leader-context relationships, and succeeding in initiative and project management.
