Course Details:
As more organizations invest in coaching to drive performance and culture, internal coaches are taking on a critical role. But what does it truly take to thrive as an internal coach—when your coachees are also your colleagues, and when recognition or support from the organization isn’t always clear?
Join us for this insightful and practical webinar, based on a recent mixed-method study that uncovers the untold stories, challenges, and motivations of internal coaches. Unlike external practitioners, internal coaches navigate unique relational dynamics, often facing role ambiguity, power imbalances, and limited organizational backing. Yet, many remain deeply committed, self-motivated, and passionate about their impact.
Whether you are an internal coach, an HR leader developing coaching capability, or a coach educator designing impactful programs, this session will give you the tools and insights to empower internal coaching from the inside out.
