Ep. 27 – Duct Tape & Group Coaching. With Guest Jennifer Chapman.

This conversation explores how to actually engage a group of leaders in a coaching session. They could be internal, from the same one organisation, or independent organisations. What is an entry point into this? What could I do with members of my team after they’ve done a training program to really keep the learning going at a cost effective way? We also explored the work that Jennifer does with an audience in the science, technology engineering, and finance industries, where coaching can have a huge impact breaking down barriers and stereotypes affecting communication and leadership styles in those industries. Jennifer thrives working with employees and leaders at all levels, with a primary focus in helping leaders who have been promoted through technical expertise embrace their roles as people managers.
