The PAFMG Leader as Coach Program equips leaders with the knowledge and practical skills to integrate coaching into their daily leadership practice. Coaching is a critical leadership competency that strengthens team performance, fosters engagement, and supports professional growth.

- Understand the principles and purpose of leadership coaching.

- Apply core coaching techniques such as active listening, asking powerful questions, and balancing challenge with support.

- Build confidence using the GROW coaching model in real-time conversations with team members.

- Create psychological safety and equity when coaching to ensure all voices are valued.

This three-part Application to Practice series provides progressive opportunities to practice and apply coaching skills:

Session 1: Define personal leadership development goals and measurable indicators of progress.

Session 2: Practice the GROW model in triads, incorporating peer and facilitator feedback.
