What You’ll Learn
In this session, we explore the intersection between psychology and coaching at work. You’ll discover:
- Why psychological insights are crucial to leadership and management
- How leadership styles influence team climate and performance
- What lies beneath the surface of behaviour
- How beliefs are formed—and how coaching can shift them
- Practical tools like the Post-it Note Exercise and the ABC model from Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy
You’ll leave with tools to not only understand your own beliefs and responses, but also how to challenge and evolve them, and support others to do the same.
