Coaching Skills for Effective Leadership

Coaching is a transformational experience, whether you’re on the giving or receiving side, which is why it’s an essential skill for managers to get right.

The curriculum for Coaching Skills for Effective Leadership gives you a proven framework developed by practitioners and Stanford GSB faculty with immersive assignments to help you apply skills to real-world coaching conversations. The EFECT (Engage, Frame, Explore, Commit, and Test) framework walks you through the steps and skills needed to have effective coaching conversations. It makes coaching skills for managers more concrete and actionable.

You’ll gain both the knowledge and skills to promote the personal growth of your team members, the excellence of your organization, and the strength of your leadership.
