It’s true, coaching is often mistaken for or interchangeably used with mentoring — but they’re not the same thing at all. Coaching is a process of asking questions, setting goals and taking steps to achieve them, reflecting on these goals and actions, and assessing insights gained. Coaches encourage learning, commitment, and positive change by balancing trust and tension, and apply experiential learning principles in all lessons and levels.

Clients often come to us in search of a program or solution that equips leaders for difficult conversations with their team members. We can absolutely help, and a proactive route is to ask the question: How do we create a harmonious work environment that lets us avoid these difficult conversations in the first place?

Our answer: alignment conversations. Difficult situations don’t just happen overnight. They often develop when there is a lack of clarity around roles, purpose, expectations, and goals. Learn more about the power of alignment conversations here: https://www.iecl.com/article/alignment-the-key-to-successful-leadership-conversations 👍

The Key to Successful Leadership Conversations | IECL We can learn to have effective workplace conversations. The solution may be simpler than you think.

In a fundamentally different landscape, we need to rethink who we are and how we work. To navigate our new territory, having regular conversations that challenge the status quo, our mental models and our previous ways of thinking will help show us a path forward."
