For organisations · Across cultures and generations
Leader as Coach.
Many leaders become the bottleneck. Every decision comes back to them, their teams wait for answers, and there is no time left for the work only they can do. Leader as Coach changes that. Leaders learn to coach their people to think, decide and take ownership, so decisions move faster, teams grow in confidence, and the leader's time goes where it matters most.
Built on the ICF core coaching competencies and Karen's work with senior leaders across industries and cultures.
The coaching mindset
From telling to asking. When to coach, when to direct, when to advise, and how to stop being the answer to every question.
Listening and powerful questions
Listening for what is said and what is not. Questions that open up thinking instead of closing it down.
Feedback and difficult conversations
Honest, respectful feedback that people can hear and act on.
Signal Intelligence for leaders
Notice patterns in people and teams early, and test assumptions before acting on them.
Coaching across cultures and generations
Adapting your approach to people with different backgrounds, expectations and ways of working.
Building a coaching culture
Making coaching part of everyday leadership, with a personal plan for each leader.
Between sessions, leaders practise real coaching conversations with their teams and peers, then reflect on what worked.

Questions
Before you get in touch.
Why not just give our leaders AI tools?
AI tools are useful, and we encourage leaders to use them. But they give everyone the same information, and they cannot build the things that make leaders effective: judgement under pressure, the trust of their people, and the confidence to have difficult conversations. Research by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University in 2025 found that the more people trusted AI, the less critical thinking they applied. These programmes develop the human judgement that makes AI useful rather than risky, so leaders stay in charge of the decisions.
Why not send leaders on a certified coaching programme?
Certified programmes train people to become professional coaches: at least 60 hours of training, plus mentoring and assessment, usually for one person at a time. Most leaders don't need to become coaches. They need to lead in a coaching way while still setting direction and making decisions. Leader as Coach teaches when to coach, when to advise and when to direct, applied to each leader's own team, and builds a shared approach across a whole group. Leaders who discover they love coaching can go on to certification later.
Online or in person?
Programmes run live online, which suits international teams, and can be delivered in person by arrangement.
Which languages do you work in?
Karen works in English, French and Spanish.
How do you measure impact?
Objectives are agreed with the sponsor at the start and reviewed at the end. Sponsors receive a summary of themes and recommendations, without breaching what individuals share in confidence.
Can programmes be combined with one-to-one coaching?
Yes. Many organisations add one-to-one coaching for participants or key leaders alongside a group programme.
How is it priced?
Leader as Coach is €7,950 for a group of up to 10 leaders, and €650 for each additional leader, up to 12. Private Leadership Lab cohorts are priced per participant in line with the open programme. One-to-one, team and group coaching are quoted after your Signal Mapping Session, based on the programme, group size and format. In-person delivery is charged at the same fee plus travel and expenses.
