The Coaching Leader

What if your team came to you with solutions, not just problems?

The Coaching Leader is a 6-week virtual programme for managers and leaders who want to develop a genuine coaching approach — one that sticks.

I’ll bet you’re good at your job. You know the answers. You can see exactly what needs to happen. And when someone brings a problem to your desk, it feels easier — and quicker — to just sort it out yourself.

But here’s the thing. Every time you step in with the answer, you’re quietly telling that person: “I don’t think you can work this out.” And they start to believe it.

The managers and leaders who really get the best out of their teams aren’t the ones with all the answers. They’re the ones who ask better questions. They create space for people to think, grow and take ownership. And over time, that changes everything — not just for their teams, but for them.

That’s coaching. And it’s a skill you can learn.

What This Is

The Coaching Leader is a 6-week virtual programme for managers and leaders who want to build real coaching skills — not just the theory, but the practical confidence to have better conversations from the Monday after Week 1.

You’ll learn two frameworks — GROW and OSCAR — and understand when and how to use each one. You’ll practise on real situations. You’ll leave with a coaching toolkit that belongs to you.

Who It’s For

This programme is for you if you:

  • Manage a team and want to get the best out of them
  • Find yourself giving answers when you’d like people to find their own
  • Want more meaningful conversations at work, not just check-ins
  • Know coaching matters but haven’t had the time or space to really learn it

It’s not for you if you’re looking for a quick-fix leadership model or a certificate to put on your wall. This is for people who want to genuinely change the way they lead.

What You’ll Cover

Week 1 — The Coaching Mindset

What shifts when you lead as a coach. How to create the conditions for good thinking.

Week 2 — Questions That Unlock (GROW)

The GROW framework in practice. The art of asking questions that open things up.

Week 3 — OSCAR: The Manager’s Framework

OSCAR goes deeper into delegation, ownership and review — essential for managers with people to develop.

Week 4 — The Real Conversation

Psychological safety, navigating difficulty, knowing which framework fits the moment.

Week 5 — From Skill to Culture

How to embed coaching into your everyday leadership. Creating a culture where people grow.

Week 6 — Reflection and Celebration

Looking back at six weeks of conversations. Setting your commitments. Celebrating what’s changed.

What’s Included

  • Six live virtual sessions (2 hours each) with a group of up to 7 peers
  • A participant workbook to use between sessions — reflection prompts, action logs, a coaching conversation tracker
  • Access to the full slide deck for each module
  • A small peer group (maximum 8 participants) — so every conversation matters

 

The Investment

Founding member price: £950

This is the first cohort of The Coaching Leader. As a founding member, you get in at £950 — that’s £250 less than the full price of £1,200 when it runs again.

There are 8 places in this cohort. That’s not a marketing line — it’s genuinely how the programme works. A small group makes better conversations.

The cohort begins 29 September 2026.

FAQ’s

Both. The frameworks are practical enough for someone just starting out in a management role, and rich enough for someone who’s been leading for years but wants to shift their approach.

Life happens. All sessions will be recorded, and your workbook keeps you on track between weeks.

Google Meet. You’ll get joining details once you’ve confirmed your place.

Because this isn’t a webinar. The conversations that happen in a small group are what make the learning stick. Eight is the number that lets everyone have a voice.

GROW is a brilliant foundation coaching framework — it works in almost any conversation. OSCAR goes further, particularly for managers — it’s built for delegation, checking in on progress and holding people to account in a coaching way. You’ll leave knowing when to use each one.

Let’s connect

    ★★★★★

    Ashleigh has an uncanny ability to really get to the bottom of why we feel unproductive at times. Her advanced skills and techniques enable her to carve the right pathway so that we perform better as professionals, sleep better on a night, and function in a much more efficient and productive way during the day. When it comes to her coaching and personal development sessions, she listens intently, asking the right questions and finding the solutions that we need to achieve our goals whether they be personal or professional. If you are someone that is lacking clarity and focus, or someone that has advanced to the next stage of their career and looking to increase productivity, or even someone that just wants foolproof ways of better managing a team, then I would recommend Inspire OD unreservedly.

    You won’t be disappointed.

    I couldn’t recommend working with Ashleigh more.

    She has used her skills to help me become more productive and get to the deeper issue of why I wasn’t using my time effectively. She does this without any judgement and with such professionalism. I felt safe and open to talk to her and I really looked forward to our sessions.

    If you are ever stuck and need someone to help guide you in the right direction Ashleigh is your girl!

    Ashleigh was absolutely fabulous, from the moment my coaching journey began she guided me through the process and made me feel comfortable throughout. The session felt non judgemental and relaxed. She allowed me to speak freely and guided our discussion allowing me to conclude my own opinions. She really helped me draw clarity on my situation and ensured I left feeling positive with the knowledge I can tackle my issue head on.

    We asked Inspire OD to deliver the Introduction to Insights Discovery Workshop.

    As a transformation programme and project management team, the session was incredibly insightful for self-awareness, understanding how to work best with our stakeholders and for the wider team dynamic.

    Ashleigh’s delivery style ensures all participates get the most from the session and paces the content to ensure you come away equipped with a new set of skills that you can readily apply.

    I would strongly recommend to others!

    She came to our office and delivered a Team Building Taster Session for us and it was absolutely fantastic. Such a fun and engaging way to bring the team together which really got us thinking about ourselves, how others perceive us and how we can lean into these discoveries to further build on our internal communication to achieve our goals collectively

    Ashleigh has a great talent that not many people have today, and that is the ability to listen.

    During conversations with Ashleigh, she gave me the tools to deal with scenarios which I hadn’t considered and were of great benefit, I will continue to use going forward
