Coach Mode: Leader, Parent, Colleague, Coach – with Alan Brereton

Coach Mode: Leader, Parent, Colleague, Coach
Moving from automatic reaction to intentional response

We don’t respond to every person or situation in the same way. At work we may become more directive, at home more accommodating, and in coaching more curious — until pressure, habit or our own anxiety pulls us back into familiar patterns. In this webinar, Alan Brereton explores what it means to consciously switch into “Coach Mode” as a leader, parent, colleague or professional coach. We’ll look at the instinct to fix and advise, how our default responses change across different relationships, and how greater self-awareness can help us move from automatic reaction to more intentional response.
