Participants will also practice identifying how individual growth translates into outcomes that matter to the organization.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
✅ Respond confidently to common questions about the value of coaching;
✅ Talk about coaching in language that resonates with organizational leaders;
✅ Connect individual behavior change to team and business outcomes;
