Coaching Hub for Leaders: Develop your coaching skills

What is coaching? Simply put, coaching is about creating and holding space for another person to do their best thinking. It is all about allowing individuals to explore their thoughts and find their own solutions to challenges they are facing.

Coaching is widely accepted as a core skill for leaders that want to create motivated, empowered, high-performing teams. According to research by Google, ‘Be a good coach’ was at the top of their list of behaviours for managers that got the highest performance from their teams. Other research has directly linked the amount of coaching an employee receives with their engagement.

Here you will find information on Happy’s coaching programmes, resources and information so you can develop your coaching skills.

One-to-one coaching and psychometric assessments

Taking time to focus on your own development is crucial to your role and to your organisation. To be the best at work and be the leader you want to be, sometimes you have to take stock, reflect and grow. Our 1-to-1 coaching sessions are a confidential space for you to discuss your thoughts and progress, and experience what it’s like to be coached.

Our range of psychometric assessments are a great starting point for self-awareness and learning what you would like to focus
