Coaching Skills for Non-Executive Directors
Effective Non-Executive Directors do more than provide advice and oversight. They create the conditions for better thinking, stronger conversations and more considered decision-making. This on-demand masterclass explores how a coaching approach can help NEDs challenge constructively, improve boardroom dynamics and enable executives and fellow Board members to develop their own solutions.
You'll explore the practical skills that underpin effective Board-level coaching, including active listening, powerful questioning, constructive feedback, emotional intelligence and the purposeful use of silence. The masterclass also examines when to adopt a directive or non-directive approach and how coaching differs from mentoring, training and counselling.
Using the coaching models and practical Board scenarios, learners will consider how coaching skills can build trust, navigate disagreement, encourage accountability and bring different strategic perspectives together. By applying these techniques, NEDs can support more collaborative leadership and contribute to a sustainable, future-focused organisation.
By the end of this masterclass, learners will be able to:
- Understand the strategic value of adopting a coaching approach within the Non-Executive Director role
- Distinguish between coaching, mentoring, training and other developmental approaches, recognising when each style is appropriate
- Apply active listening, purposeful questioning, emotional intelligence and constructive feedback in Board-level conversations
- Adapt between directive and non-directive approaches according to the situation, from crisis management to collaborative strategic decision-making
- Use coaching skills to strengthen Board dynamics, navigate differing viewpoints and encourage greater ownership and accountability
