Coaching Skills Course for Communication & Leadership

A practical, 6 hour course that builds the skills to ask better questions, listen more effectively, and support clearer, more productive conversations in everyday settings

Effective communication is not just about giving advice or having the right answers. This course introduces a coaching-based approach that helps people ask better questions, listen more closely, and support clearer thinking in everyday conversations. Participants learn practical skills they can use in work, relationships, and leadership contexts to foster clarity, accountability, and meaningful progress.

Through this short course, participants learn:

  • How to ask focused, open-ended questions that move conversations forward

  • How to listen for patterns, assumptions, and underlying concerns

  • How to support others in clarifying their thinking and next steps

  • How to balance support and accountability in professional conversations

  • How to apply coaching approaches in supervision, collaboration, and leadership contexts

About the course

  • This course can be tailored to any group but at its core is ideal for:

    • team leads and managers navigating conversations with staff or colleagues

    • professionals who collaborate, supervise, or support others

    • individuals who want to strengthen communication in their relationships

    • people who find themselves giving advice but want to ask better questions

    • anyone looking to improve how they listen, respond, and guide conversations

  • This course is made up of four, 90-minute lessons or sessions (6 hours total) led by an experienced coach and professional educator. It is not a lecture-based course. Participants actively practice coaching skills in real time and receive structured opportunities to apply what they learn in their own work. The focus is on building confidence and capability, not just understanding concepts.

  • This course can be offered fully online or inperson as:

    • a cohort-based program for organizations

    • an open enrollment course for individuals

    • a customized series based on team or organizational needs
