Leaders Who Coach™ Podcast Trailer

Maybe you know something about coaching, maybe you’ve done some coach training and want to improve your skills, maybe you’re one of my Leaders Who Coach™ graduates, or maybe you are new to the whole concept of coaching as a leader or people manager and you want to overcome your hesitation and check if it’s for you!

Hi, I’m Sehaam Cyrene and I teach leaders how to use coaching skills. Wherever you are at, my brand new (and I’m very excited about this) Leaders Who Coach™ Podcast is for you! I’m a big advocate of leaders using coaching skills, what I call coach-leadership, because of the immediate and empowering results it delivers for you and your people.

Straight from my 5-star rated CPD Certified course LEADERS WHO COACH™ that people are calling the “Secret Sauce” “transformational” and a “Game-changer”, each week I show you simple strategies, step-by-step techniques and magical questions you can start using in your very next conversation! 

Coach-leadership is a bit different to pure coaching. In pure coaching, your coach is solely focused on you. Coach-leadership is where you as a leader or people manager use powerful coaching skills and techniques with your direct reports, peers, customers, and even your boss… to help you and your team meet your responsibilities, your targets, your deliverables, often under pressure. Coach-leadership is how you get reliable results and have substantive impact that benefits ALL the stakeholders in your organisation, including yourself. 

I’m here to show you how to start coaching, how to adapt core coaching skills and techniques for your leadership role at work — realistically, whatever level your level of responsibility — where you and your team have deadlines and targets.

I show you how to get the balance right between directing, managing and coach-leading. 

How to (ONE) find the time and approach to be strategic and (TWO) how to use coaching skills to grow the capability of your people — aren’t these the two most important aspects of your role?

I show you how just one question or phrase can change the trajectory of your conversations and relationships, the techniques that move your exchanges from pointless, costly and stressful escalations to strong and healthy working relationships, even when you disagree, even when you’ve got a history of friction, and even when you’re under pressure and battling through a crisis situation.

I help you move away from the limiting and stressful command-and-control style of leadership that stifles creativity and innovation because it disengages us, creating fear, silos and toxic behaviours.

Understand what it is that masterful executive coaches do that you can replicate with your team to unlock ideas, remove resistance and diffuse escalations. 

Understand how you can be doing less heavy-lifting in leading and in fact why you need to stop trying so hard, why you need to be less responsible for how your people perform. 

Yes! When you create space for your direct reports to grow, they become less dependent on you and more accountable for themselves.

Doesn’t that sound great? Wouldn’t you like to go on holiday and know that your team is not going to be pinging you every few hours while you’re trying to have fun with your family and friends…? So you can properly switch off and recharge? Right?

Leaders Who Coach™ have this magic of drawing people towards them. They are very intentional in how they connect with us, how they create emotional commitment in us, and how they build our confidence to do more with the skills and passions that we have. 

These coaching skills can’t just be for coaches — there’s a bigger play here. 

You know, I wish this podcast was around for me earlier in my career because I’ve made plenty of mistakes.

Leadership can be so rewarding and way less stressful if we know how to show up. 

Honestly, leadership is a privilege.
