What you'll learn

The Coaching Habit teaches us how to break out of the advice-giving trap and become a more effective leader by staying curious longer.

We’ll look at: 

  • A breakdown of the book’s core ideas – so you get takeaways even if you haven’t read it.
  • Seven powerful questions that can transform everyday conversations into opportunities for growth.
  • Practical tips to apply some coaching techniques in your work and personal life.
  • An open discussion – share your thoughts, ask questions, and connect with hundreds of other healthcare staff. 

Who is this webinar for?

This session is open to everyone.
