We all know we should be coaching our teams but it’s hard to know how to do that without going on a coaching for managers course.  Until now!   

In this week’s episode I interview Jude Sclater about her book ‘Think Like a Coach’ which is a wonderfully practical step by step guide that any manager can use to become a coach-like manager.  Jude simplifies coaching for us, defining it as giving someone your attention while they think out loud and emphasizes the importance of listening and asking questions 

We discuss… 

- Jude’s 3 principles to help you become more coach-like with your team 

- When to coach your team and when not to! 

- Jude’s ‘Two Step’ approach to get you coaching straight away 

- The number one step you can take to create psychological safety in your team 

- How to coach in 5 minutes or less 

- How to support a team member experiencing strong emotions
