Practical Coaching Skills for Busy Managers with Jude Sclater

In this week's episode of The Career Confidence Podcast, I am joined by Jude Sclater, a leadership coach, author of Think Like A Coach, and former internal coach at Deloitte.

She helps managers step up from doing the work to leading the team, without burning out or losing their best people. Her work focuses on practical coaching skills that make everyday conversations more impactful, even when time is short. We talk about how:

  • Coaching skills can empower team members, fostering their development and ultimately benefiting organisational performance.
  • Managers should actively resist the impulse to fix problems and instead encourage team members to find their own solutions.
  • The importance of nurturing a coaching culture within organisations for higher employee engagement and retention.
  • Building relationships through effective coaching enhances team dynamics and can significantly improve overall workplace morale and productivity.
