Coaching
Coaching creates the balance of support and challenge that advances work farther, faster.
Better conversations make for better business results.
Many leaders underestimate the importance of coaching in fostering the development, growth, and performance of others. Equipping leaders with the skills to coach their team members effectively is paramount and this requires going beyond mere management to boost productivity, cultivate trust and autonomy, and drive improved bottom-line results.
The Benefits of Coaching
Coaching helps us connect, align, and drive accountability. When we coach we honor the capability of others to own their work, their solutions, and their follow-through. While there are times to direct, all-to-often we miss out on times to coach and the immense benefits that comes with developing coaching skills and a coaching culture.​​

Mindset
Develop a coaching culture and you will see the incredible impact it has on creating a mindset where people assume positive intent, work to nurture one another through support and challenge, and create an environment that fosters greater levels of trust, autonomy, and belonging. At Bolster Leadership we believe a coaching mindset is the necessary underpinning to any leadership development program.
Toolset
Coaching is about creating more supportive conversations in the workplace. The primary tool we use is our own coaching FLOW framework:
​
FOCUS - where do we need to focus?
LEARN - what is happening and what do we want instead?
OPTIONS - what could be?
WHAT NEXT - what will be?
​
We are constantly experimenting with the latest and greatest gen AI coaching tools and while these can be very effective, the pro-social pressure and commitment that comes with human-to-human interactions is invaluable.
