Let’s Talk Coaching!
Ever wonder why some leaders bring out the very best in their teams? In this interactive session, executive coach Dave Cozzens will share how coaching can transform the way we lead, collaborate, and deliver results. We’ll explore what coaching really means, how it’s different from giving advice or mentoring, and simple but powerful techniques—like asking better questions and really listening—that you can start using right away. Through real-world examples and practical tools, you’ll discover how coaching helps people unlock their potential, tackle challenges, and achieve lasting success. Whether you’re leading projects, managing teams, or simply looking to grow as a professional, this session will leave you with fresh insights and strategies you can put into practice tomorrow.
