Techniques from the rehearsal room
People learn leadership the way actors learn a part: by doing it, seeing it from the other side, and doing it again.
Coaching triads
Coach, coachee and observer rotate through real situations, with feedback after each round.
Hot-seating
The facilitator plays a team member with a real dilemma, and managers practise coaching them live.
Replay with variations
The same conversation is played as “telling” and then as “coaching”, so the difference is felt, not just explained.
When to choose it
