As an industry, professional coaching has exploded over the last 40 years, largely because of the array of positive outcomes linked to working with a coach. Approximately one-third of organizations are training managers to incorporate coaching skills into their leadership style (HCI & ICF, 2018). In their new book, The Coaching Shift : How A Coaching Mindset and Skills Can Change You, Your Interactions, and the World Around You, Dr. Waters and Dr. Riordan argue that anyone, regardless of role or level, can adopt a more coach-like approach to help them build more meaningful relationships and have smoother, more effective, and higher impact interactions with others.
 
In this session, Shonna and Brodie will share practical guidance based on research from coaching, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and industrial-organizational psychology that can be applied in work and life.
