After many years of coaching individuals and teams, I observed that the people that tended to succeed as leaders were those that were able to harness the full power of conversation. People seemed to love working for these leaders for the following reasons:-
- They had developed a high degree of mutual trust
- Ideas and views flowed easily
- People were not talked over and everyone was given enough airtime to express their views
- People felt respected
- Conversations were well facilitated with people ‘encouraged’ to get to the point and as a result meetings were well managed and outcomes were delivered
- There was a good balance of challenge and encouragement
I’ve recorded a short video to provide you with an overview of the value and skills of powerful conversations. During your coaching programme you will work on the component skills such as .Listening with Empathy’, ‘Asking Thoughtful Questions’. Etc
