“Through this programme I have become far more than a coach. I am a better leader, listener and manager as a result.”

– From an Alumni, A Venture Principal

Coaching is More than a Leadership Style, it’s a Learnt Skill

In today’s dynamic environment, senior leaders are expected to transform not only the business but also its people. While they are responsible for the bottom line, the true driver of these results is the people within the organisation.

With increasing pressures, maintaining a relational approach can be challenging. However, with strong coaching skills, leaders build trust, communicate better, and foster a supportive, high-performing culture.

Key Capabilities of Coaching Leaders

  • Developing Others:  Leaders have impactful conversations on performance, give good feedback, have career planning conversations and display emotional intelligence in day-to-day.
  • Influencing Stakeholders:  Leaders skillfully influence both internal and external senior stakeholders, enhancing collaboration and decision-making through curtiosity, active listning and empathy. 

  • Driving Change: Leaders leverage a coaching approach to effectively partner with the business and drive change at senior levels.
