Coaching

Coaching is a partnership. A coach doesn't hand over a playbook or claim to have all the answers. Instead, the role is to ask good questions, offer an experienced, outside perspective, and help surface what might otherwise get missed. The client stays in charge of the work; coaching helps make that work more effective.

Who it's for

For anyone doing mission-driven work. Coaching is a space to step back from the daily bustle and work on your goals that can get neglected.

Coaching with us is especially well-suited to people looking to:

• Become more effective as a manager working with direct reports.

• Become more effective as a team lead coordinating a multi-department team.

• Work through a specific managerial challenge.

• Address burnout in themselves or their team.

• Incorporate Lighthearted Humanity into their work.

Why pair it with training

Workshops are great at introducing new ideas. The challenge can be making those ideas stick once everyone's back in the grind of meetings and deadlines. Coaching can be the translation: where a concept from a workshop turns into something a manager does, shaped to their real team and their real week.

That's why coaching is offered at a discount to anyone who's already engaged Wilden Salter for training or consulting. The follow-through is what helps to make the initial work pay off.

How it works

• Discovery call: A free conversation to talk through goals and see if coaching is the right fit.

• Format: Most coaching sessions occur every or every other week via Zoom (though there is flexibility).

• Focus: Sessions are driven by the client's current challenges, not a fixed curriculum.

• Commitment: Most coaching engagements start at 3 months.
