Training for Leaders as Coaches
Developing Coaching Leaders
This engaging, in-depth training takes your leadership from simple managers to effective coaches.
Why Leaders Need to Be Trained as Coaches
A manager who takes on the role of a coach can make all the difference for your team and your company’s bottom line.
In fact, by some estimates, over 96% of employees who receive coaching from their managers report being satisfied or very satisfied with the feedback they receive. When they’re that satisfied, they’re more likely to stay with your company and help it grow.
Coaching is a skill your managers need and one that can help their teams reach that level of satisfaction if they receive proper training for it.
Adopting a coaching mindset helps your leaders stop managing tasks and start developing people. Frontline’s leadership coaching training, Developing Coaching Leaders, will help you foster stronger teams, healthier cultures, and higher retention by honing skills like active listening and open-ended questions.
Who is it for?
This leadership coaching training program is designed for individuals looking to grow their coaching, leadership, and communication skills. It’s especially useful for those in supervisory, management, director-level, or human resources roles who want to improve how they lead and interact with their teams.
What You Will Learn in This Leadership Coaching Training Program

Training Reviews
The Developing Coaching Leaders Course helped me to become a better leader by becoming a better listener. The sessions with peer to peer coaching exercises in class and outside of class provided valuable experience to become a better leader at work. The course has helped me to engage my direct reports into solving their own problems. It has also helped me become better at delegating.
