There is no shortage of talented, young workers. There is, however, a shortage of talented, young workers who are willing to work at ho-hum jobs that don’t offer high levels of stimulation, opportunities for growth or ways to maintain their wellbeing. Young employees are leaving their jobs at an alarming rate and are reluctant to join organizations that don’t align with their values or put an emphasis on their mental health.
So how can you empower and keep skilled young leaders? During this session, we will explore the four most important things you need to know about retaining and reigniting a young workforce that values your organization.
Great Leaders are Great Coaches
- Discover the single most important factor that leads to success.
- Become crystal clear about your role and responsibilities as a mentor, leader and coach.
- Explore specific techniques to challenge mentees and employees in order to influence and drive higher levels of performance.
- Learn how to approach difficult conversations and manage yourself, as a leader, in moments of potential conflict and tension.
- Acquire a 5-step practical and poignant coaching process to implement with employees and mentees.
Great leaders are also great coaches. If you’re the leader of your team in any capacity, your role is to coach your team. This skills-based, experiential workshop will equip participants with core coaching skills, perspectives and behaviors to leverage the most important asset inside any organization – the people.
This will be beneficial for leaders who want to hone their coaching skills in order to powerfully influence the members of their own team, as well as for mentors who want to provide valuable guidance to their mentees.

During this highly interactive and engaging session, you will take a deep look at your own thinking to determine how it is impacting your results both personally and professionally, and you will learn the thinking strategies of the most successful leaders.
You will learn tangible techniques for overcoming your most significant leadership obstacles. Be prepared to see the world through a new lens – the lens of an exceptional leader!
