The 5 Coaching Conversations

A leadership rhythm. Not five workshops.

Boss to Coach gives managers a repeatable rhythm for leading people through everyday conversations.

It starts with a foundation workshop in CliftonStrengths, then builds through five coaching conversations:

  1. Set Expectations

  2. Everyday Feedback

  3. Check Ins

  4. Development Planning

  5. Progress Reviews

Together, these conversations help managers create clarity, build ownership, coach performance and develop people over time.

A practical leadership system built around CliftonStrengths and five coaching conversations.

Better conversations. Better managers. Better teams.

Most managers are promoted because they are good at their job. Few are taught how to lead people. As a result, many managers spend their time:

  • Solving problems for others

  • Chasing accountability

  • Avoiding difficult conversations

  • Giving feedback too late

  • Carrying too much responsibility themselves

The result is frustration for the manager and dependence from the team.

Boss to Coach helps leaders shift from directing and solving to coaching and developing. Built around strengths and five coaching conversations, it provides a practical framework that creates clarity, accountability and growth.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

“The delivery of the content was dynamic and well presented. The times spent on each topic was enough to understand the concepts.  Interactions were very helpful and the short time allowed for each task made us feel the pressure to deliver it (very helpful to replicate real life scenarios).  Jason was very attentive and professional while coaching and presenting the course and managing time and agenda.”

A leadership rhythm. Not five workshops

Many leadership programmes teach concepts. Boss to Coach teaches a repeatable leadership rhythm. Each conversation builds on the one before:

  1. SET EXPECTATIONS Create clarity around what success looks like.

  2. GIVE FEEDBACK Recognise progress and address issues early.

  3. CHECK IN Remove roadblocks and maintain momentum.

  4. DEVELOP PEOPLE Help team members grow through strengths and coaching.

  5. REVIEW PROGRESS Reflect on achievements, learning and next steps.

Together these conversations provide managers with a practical framework they can use every week with every team member.

Instead of managing performance through annual reviews, managers learn to lead through ongoing conversations.

“I really enjoyed my time with Jason, he was very knowledgeable and humble in his approach, he had the answers but also seemed open to learning and feedback. I would recommend this course and Jason to anyone, well worth the investment.”

Flexible delivery to ensure learning sticks.

BLENDED LEARNING

  • Delivered in person, virtually, self-paced online, or through a blended approach

  • Many organisations choose a mix of in person workshops and virtual sessions between modules to maximise application and minimise time away from work

  • Flexible delivery allows the programme to fit around operational demands

PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS

  • Real workplace conversations replace role plays

  • Leaders apply the tools immediately with their own team

  • The conversation becomes the practice, meaning the work is already underway

TOOLS AND RESOURCES

  • Practical guides, templates and discussion tools support everyday application

  • Easy to use resources help leaders apply the learning long after the workshop

  • Available through a dedicated client portal

ONLINE LEARNING

  • Self paced online learning supports workshop delivery and ongoing development

  • Ideal for reinforcing concepts, onboarding new leaders and refreshing key skills

  • Can be used as a standalone resource or combined with facilitated workshops

Build lasting habits

Learning sticks when leaders apply it repeatedly. Boss to Coach can be supported by:

  • CliftonStrengths

  • Team Health Checks

  • Leadership coaching

  • Team development workshops

  • Online learning resources

These tools help leaders move from insight to habit and create lasting behavioural change. Most importantly, they will have the confidence and tools to coach rather than micromanage. Because better conversations create better teams.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

“Setting expectations created an authentic conversation. Love the check in template, it’s a standout”

“I’m getting a lot out of the feedback questions working, stuck, differently. Using with customers is a really great conversation structure for feedback”
