Leadership Training and Development Reimagined for Today’s Teams and Today’s Challenges
We Believe
Everybody deserves the opportunity to make their highest contribution. When they do, they benefit and their organization benefits. Organizations are more profitable, productive, and adaptable when their team members make their highest contribution sustainably over time.
Too often, though, our well-intentioned managers lack the skills to create a sustainable, high-performance team. Too much managing and not enough leading.
At The Center for Coaching Leadership, we help managers become coaching leaders. We believe that coaching is the only way leaders can fully activate today’s multi-generational teams to tackle today’s challenges.
1
Big Vision
Achieving any big vision requires a great team.
2
Great Team
Great teams are a function of great leaders.
3
Great Leader
Great leaders now are coaching leaders.
Our Singular Mission
Through scholarship, resources, training, coaching, and consulting, The Center for Coaching Leadership will equip 10,000 managers to effectively coach their team members to remarkable results by 2030.
Our Values
Real Empathy
Work can be too transactional. People are called “resources.” This is not inspiring. To be the best organization we need real empathy at the foundation of all we do.
Build Long
We believe in creating and building for the long-term. Long-term relationships. Long-term solutions. Long-term sustainable progress.
Intentional Attention
Attention is a gift. There is more distraction than ever before. Attention is where all change and all progress comes from. We focus our attention on our work, our colleagues, and our coaching community.
What We Offer
We care deeply about helping managers become coaching leaders. We believe you can’t make that kind of change by only reading the internet and watching YouTube.
Everybody starts by attending The Coaching Leader Workshop. That level of commitment then unlocks the other resources that will help you to continuously improve.
The Coaching Leader Workshop
Our flagship workshop. In this full-day workshop participants learn how to make the leap from manager to coaching leader. Workshops are held in-person around Seattle, Washington. Workshops are also offered virtually.
If you are new here, this is where you start!
