Lead to Win: Coaching Teams to Peak Performance
About the Course:
Great leaders don’t just manage tasks, they coach people.
In today’s fast-moving, high-stakes work environments, leadership means more than setting goals and holding people accountable. It requires fostering a culture of growth, resilience, and ownership. Lead to Win: Coaching Teams to Peak Performance is a 90-minute webinar designed to help managers, team leads, and emerging leaders elevate their impact through proven coaching strategies.
Whether you lead a corporate team, a healthcare unit, a classroom, or a project group, this session equips you with practical tools to shift from directing to developing. Learn how to lead powerful coaching conversations, diagnose team performance challenges, and support both individual and team growth through actionable strategies like Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and mindset coaching.
You’ll also explore how to model growth as a leader because the most effective teams are built by leaders who are actively learning and evolving themselves.
