Coaching Leaders to Coach: Using Brain Style & Brain Talents to Build Manager Coaching Habits That Scale (Coaching Connections)

What if the fastest way to change culture was simply changing how managers talk with their people?

Leaders shape culture through thousands of small conversations. When managers know how to coach effectively, those conversations build trust, clarity, and accountability. When they don’t, even well-intended leadership development efforts struggle to take hold.

In this Coaching Connections session, we’ll explore a scalable, human-centered approach to helping managers develop coaching habits that strengthen the people-side of performance. Rather than relying on one-off training or heroic individual leaders, this approach focuses on giving managers a clear structure for understanding how people think, connect, and take action—and for adapting their coaching in ways that feel natural, practical, and sustainable.

You’ll learn how to move leaders from good intentions to consistent coaching behaviors, creating ripple effects across teams and culture.

⭐ Key Takeaways

  • Why manager coaching is one of the most reliable levers for culture, engagement, and performance

  • A clear structure for helping leaders coach in ways that actually stick under pressure

  • How to support managers in adapting their approach to different people and situations

  • What it takes to move coaching from a skill to a shared leadership habit at scale

  • How emotionally intelligent coaching creates alignment, ownership, and follow-through
