When the stakes are high, leaders often feel pressure to have all the answers. This episode offers an alternative. Juliet and Lucy explore how taking a coaching approach helps leaders navigate complexity, unlock deeper insight and build a culture where people think boldly and take responsibility.

They explore:

• What a coaching approach really means and how it differs from mentoring, advice-giving or line management
• How non-directive conversations create psychological safety and can lead to better decisions
• The four key skills that elevate coaching from a technique to a leadership mindset
• How to balance curiosity with accountability so coaching strengthens, rather than softens, performance

If you want to empower your team and lift the weight of feeling that you must have all the answers, this episode is for you.
