What is Leadership Coaching?

A coach knows how to ask great questions so that the Coachee (client) can discover and learn for themselves. Coaching is a conversation exploring challenges and opportunities in a safe and confidential environment.
Forton Group definition of a leader is “being personally successful and enabling success in others.” Spectra Coaching believe leadership is about the individual, the team they lead, the wider organisation and leadership in society.
