Coaching for Success: How to Supportively Guide Leaders & Teams in the Right Direction

Nov 03 2026

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM

*REPEAT SESSION

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.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Explore active listening strategies to strengthen relationships and foster mutual trust
  • Discover how to leverage powerful questions to prompt reflection and self-direction.
  • Help leaders and colleagues identify goals and stay focused on them.
  • Spot and suggest opportunities that align with others’ strengths and priorities.
  • Deliver timely, respectful feedback, even without positional authority.
  • Influence outcomes by guiding rather than directing and coaching rather than correcting.
