Coaching: The Skill that Changes Everything
Join Slingshot25 leadership experts Jackie Pelland and Courtney Smock for this free Leadership Sunrise Series session, sponsored by Ohnward Bank, as they break down what coaching really is, what it isn't, and why it matters for everyone in the room.

ABOUT THIS SESSION
Coaching isn't reserved for people with "manager" in their title. It's a skill that changes how anyone shows up, whether you're leading a team, supporting one through HR, or contributing as an individual who wants more influence and impact.
You'll learn how shifting from giving answers to asking better questions can transform the way you engage, communicate, and solve problems, whether that's with a direct report, a colleague, or yourself. Attendees will walk away with practical, immediately usable ways to build trust, inspire ownership, and unlock potential in the people around them, no matter where they sit on the org chart.
What you'll take away:
- What leadership coaching is (and isn't), and the role it plays in driving performance and growth
- How a coaching mindset changes the way you engage, communicate, and solve problems with others
- Practical ways to put coaching into action immediately to inspire action, build trust, and unlock potential in the people around you
