Julie Flower, leadership and team development practitioner, joins host Simone Sweeney for an insightful discussion on how coaches can help leaders develop the skills they need to work with the ambiguity and change of the modern world. Julie has a long background of working with the public sector, government and third sector, and so understands the pressures leaders have faced in these sectors in recent years, describing it as a ‘perfect storm’. She shares the types of change she has been coaching leaders and teams with, what it means to lead today, its wider context and how coaches can help.
You will learn:
· The coaching skills needed for working in emotionally charged environments and support leaders to unlock and develop soft skills
· The role of coaches in supporting collaboration and influencing
· The use and impact of creativity, such as improv and embodiment techniques, in coaching leaders and teams
“I think leadership is about creating the conditions for everyone to work effectively towards a common goal. Thinking about how we can mobilise people towards a common goal and create the conditions where they can succeed and excel.”
