Traditional lecture-based training programs have been ineffective in knowledge retention. However, this training method is still adopted by a large number of organizations.

We’ve all at some point in our careers thought of our bosses as being overly controlling and even accused them of only being bothered about the ‘numbers’ and not their teams, right? Well, now that you’re the boss, have you thought about whether this is what your team may say about you?! In the words of Bill Campbell, coach emeritus: “Your title makes you a manager.

As we can well imagine-it’s the opening the mind and heart to sharing that often becomes difficult for most people. And yet, we cannot gain from the coaching conversation if we are not sharing what’s happening with us, our current situation, and how we see it. Coaching conversati...
