In this episode, I explain who you can coach and who you can use your coaching skills with as a leader, why some people are not coachable, and the top 6 groups of people you can use your coaching skills with, including your team and your boss. 

As Coach-Leaders, it's important to be clear about who you can coach and why you would coach them — what's the upside for you and for them? And do you need their permission to coach them? I explain the difference between you coaching someone you work with and you using your coaching skills with anyone. 

Coaching skills are fundamentally great conversation skills and people are attracted to leaders who can hold safe, non-judgmental and confidential thinking spaces for them to get their heads clear and be confident about what they need to do. There are smart strategic reasons to do this and it comes with a responsibility to act with integrity.
