Elevating Coaching Impact: The Power of a 3-Way Manager Conversation

As a leadership coach, I get so much joy and energy witnessing the impact of personal development and career growth for clients.

One of the most rewarding and impactful additions to a coaching series is including the manager in a final development conversation with a client. It's a simple step with profound results!

This 3-way dialogue supercharges the client's growth by fostering:

1. Transparency: It aligns expectations and ensures the manager is fully aware of the coachee's goals, progress, and development areas identified during the process. No more guesswork!

2. Personal Impact: By articulating their growth and next steps to their direct leader, the client solidifies their learning and commits to applying it back on the job, multiplying the programme's ROI.

3. Accountability: The manager can step in as a development partner, providing targeted support and opportunities that reinforce the coaching outcomes long after the programme ends.

It turns abstract development into concrete, shared action. If you're running a coaching programme, consider integrating this simple yet powerful element!
