WHY COACHING SKILLS MATTER
Great coaching helps people think, grow, and take ownership.
Our Coaching Skills for Leaders program equips managers, supervisors, HR leaders, and emerging leaders with practical skills to listen better, ask better questions, build trust, and strengthen performance.
More than 2,500 leaders across the country, from first-time supervisors to C-suite and Tribal leaders, have been trained through this program.
Build a Coaching Culture
Coaching changes the way leaders develop people.
Instead of always providing the answer, leaders learn how to help employees think through challenges, take ownership, and move forward with confidence.
WHAT LEADERS GAIN
Participants learn to use coaching in everyday leadership moments, including feedback, performance conversations, conflict, delegation, goal-setting, and career development.
Leaders learn to:
- Listen more deeply and ask better questions.
- Build trust through meaningful conversations.
- Strengthen accountability without micromanaging.
- Help employees clarify goals and next steps.
- Adapt their approach to different people and situations.
- Coach for stronger performance and development.
Learning Through Practice
This isn't passive training. Leaders learn by doing.
The experience may include live learning sessions, coaching practice and a hands-on practicum, Cloverleaf assessments, reflection tools, and a certificate of completion.
Private and Public Cohorts
Private cohorts are available for organizations and groups of 10 or more participants. These cohorts are ideal for organizations seeking to develop a coaching culture and building a shared approach to coaching, feedback, communication, and performance.
Private cohorts can be customized to reflect your organization’s values, leadership expectations, culture, and business priorities.
Public cohorts are offered one to two times per year and are ideal for individual leaders, smaller organizations, or teams that want access to the program without launching a full private cohort.

What Participants Are Saying
“I have used the coaching process to listen more, and give others the opportunity to solve issues on their own.”
“It gives the employee more confidence when I ask them questions and get them to come up with their own solutions, instead of me telling them what to do.”
“Before this course I was always saying, ‘Let me hear your problem and here is the solution.’ I’ve learned that isn’t really coaching. I need to step back, listen, and ask better questions.”
Coaching Skills for Leaders provided me with one of the most vital skills a leader can develop - listening! This program was a game changer for me. The coaching skills learned through this program can provide a leader a whole new way of engaging with their team with meaningful outcomes. Asking questions and really listening to those answers helps both the coach and coachee gain a stronger understanding of any situation they are facing.
WHY PURPOSE & PERFORMANCE GROUP
Powered by Insight and Application
The program integrates Cloverleaf to help participants connect coaching skills to real workplace relationships and conversations.
Participants use Cloverleaf insights to better understand themselves, their teams, communication preferences, conflict styles, motivation, and the ways different people process information. This helps coaching move beyond the classroom and into the flow of work.
