“Leaders Who Coach™ has been a game-changer for me. It transformed the way I conduct meetings and 1-to-1 conversations. I wanted to feel much more confident that I have the tools to lead a conversation to long-term positive outcomes through a more human, empathetic approach — that telling someone to do something won’t.”

Troy Anthony, VP Customer Success, Amplience

Make an informed choice. Most leadership development programmes deliver “disappointing results” because they are too theoretical, not personal or contextual enough, skills are not applied during or after training, skills are not modelled or reinforced, the training is offered too late for younger people managers, or it’s too expensive, too long or too lonely. Most also completely exclude coaching skills as a powerful approach or only address coaching at the most superficial level, for example, how to give feedback. Leaders Who Coach™ outperforms other leadership programmes because we understand how leaders learn best and have designed an experience that leaders themselves tell us is “transformational”.

Leaders Who Coach™ use their coaching skills in powerful ways to unlock their people’s passion and expertise. From one meeting to the next. Every day.

“I have applied the Leaders Who Coach™ competencies in my coaching approach and by doing so I’ve seen a huge difference in the quality of outcomes through better conversations.”

Kishor Patel, VP Application Development, Vortexa

“I feel more confident in my conversation skills and awareness of how I can communicate with more clarity. Not only am I able to have more productive 1:1s but I am also able to coach my direct reports to be better people managers and leaders who coach themselves.”

Åsa Nyström, VP Customer Advocacy, Buffer

Our top graduate ratings are in part due to the experiential nature of the learning journeys we create for you. It’s only by doing, practicing, reflecting on and refining your approach to your own situation that you can pick up those transformational mindset shifts.

Every week, through study, assignments and live cohort calls, we create safe spaces for you to experiment with phrases, questions, energy, body language, emotions, challenges, conflicts, and tension in multiple leadership conversations. By the end of the course, you have experienced live coaching conversations more than 9 times and from multiple perspectives.

No other course comes close in creating those experiences. And those wins never leave you.

“The most valuable thing for me has been noticing that I’m more mindful of the conversational dynamic, who wants to speak, what someone’s body language is saying, or me noticing when I ask stacked questions or jump in and ‘solutionise’.” — Chris Jenkins

“Loving it and cherishing every step of the way. I’m applying what we learn left and right – super challenging and what I love the most is the support we get to process what we’re going through on our cohorts. It really helps tremendously.” — Vera Trindade

Our learning philosophy at Better Conversations is always to put you at the centre of your own transformational growth journey.

And it begins with giving you new conversation experiences of familiar situations, like meetings and one-to-ones, so you can determine if doing things differently works better for you and your direct reports (or not).

You experience leaps in your growth when it’s personal, you feel safe, you stay in control of how leadership feels best to you, and you see for yourself the results of doing things differently.

“Leaders Who Coach™ is brilliant, without exaggeration.” — Eugene Yeskov
