Learn how to shift from "fixer" to "coach" by using brief, focused conversations to develop your teams. Through a simple coaching framework and live practice, participants will experiment with asking powerful, open questions that build autonomy and accountability instead of dependence. You will leave with practical micro-coaching techniques to use in hallways, huddles, and debriefs to grow your people while protecting your own time and energy.
