Leaders Who Coach: Ask the Questions That Build Trust and Performance

You don’t have to be a coach to lead like one. What if your role was less about directing and more about sparking insight and alignment leading to true ownership and meaningful results?

In this session, we’ll explore how healthcare leaders can apply coaching-based strategies to strengthen clarity and foster deeper team accountability. Instead of defaulting to advice-giving or top-down directives, you’ll learn how to guide conversations that prompt reflection, generate commitment and drive forward momentum, especially in complex or emotionally charged environments. The payoff? Less friction. More buy-in. And a leadership style that enhances both performance and people. Whether you’re mentoring rising talent, managing change or navigating cross-functional decisions, this approach equips you to lead with intention, build trust and inspire collective action.

Together, we’ll explore:

• What makes a question “coaching-based” and why it matters more than ever in high-pressure leadership


• How to shift from problem-solving to partnership without losing momentum


• Practical frameworks to use immediately in one-on-ones, team huddles and strategic meetings
