Exploring key questions around coaching in organisations

As we reflect on coaching today and into the future, we can think about:

Why is coaching important to our futures?
How can an organisation design and implement a coaching culture?
Key lessons on the implementation and outcomes of organisational coaching.

Each of these themes is explored on the webinar. You can watch it here or listen to the podcast. We also feature the Coaching Culture Framework from our Diploma of Organisational Coaching (10835NAT).

Why is a culture of coaching important to our futures?

A culture of coaching is important to our futures because:

We need to bring out the best in people and to empower high performance
In addition, we want people to take responsibility – because we can’t do it all ourselves
Furthermore, people don’t like being told what do to all the time – they want agency and autonomy over their roles and responsibilities
Not only that, we need our people to be innovative and to speak up
We want happy, productive workplaces
It’s great being a part of a high performing organisation
Finally, we want people getting out of bed and loving what they are doing

Coaching enables all of these things that are important; and more.

Open Door’s Coaching Culture Framework

The implementation of a culture of coaching needs a structure and a plan. As featured in our Diploma of Organisational Coaching (10835NAT). Open Door’s Coaching Culture Framework is used as the basis of implementation. Importantly, as Anita discusses as the key framework that underpins the rollout of coaching at Air Force.

Other important lessons shared:

Anita takes the time to detail other lessons. Those that are critical to the implementation of coaching including:

Importantly, the link that coaching has to the organisation’s values and vision
In addition, the identification of champions who will advocate and role model coaching
Furthermore, setting up centres of excellence
And a balance between structure and the need for coaching to evolve organically

What does the future hold?

Well, it is no surprise that we think the future is bright for coaching.

What if we re-imagined our organisations through a coaching lens.

What would that look like?

An organisation where people are listening and asking great questions. Furthermore, bringing out the best in each other. Speaking up and offering ideas. And allowing collaborative problem solving. A workplace that is positive. And importantly, workplace engagement scores are high and absenteeism/sick leave is low. And we work together towards high performance.

Perhaps for some, they might say this is utopia.

But we know that it is happening in the here and now. And you can listen to the inspirational case study shared by Anita about Air Force to learn more.

Enjoy your coaching and re-imagining the future.
