As a trusted EA, you’re often the behind-the-scenes strategist. You navigate relationships, guide decision-makers, and nudge projects and people in the right direction. Yet, without formal authority, coaching others (especially executives or peers) can feel delicate and daunting. In this session, you’ll learn how to use powerful coaching techniques to influence without overstepping. Whether you’re helping a leader gain clarity, encouraging a colleague to stretch, or redirecting a team member’s approach, you’ll leave with tools to coach “up” and “across” with confidence.
