Leadership Growth: The Power of Remedial and Generative Coaching

Host Nick Sellers delves into the differences between remedial and generative executive coaching. He breaks down common misconceptions about executive coaching, emphasizing that having a coach signifies strength and readiness to grow, not weakness.

Nick defines coaching as forward-looking and strengths-based, explaining that both remedial and generative coaching aim at development and moving individuals or teams towards better outcomes.

He also addresses misunderstandings about coaching, arguing against the ideas that remedial coaching is punitive or that generative coaching lacks measurable ROI.

The episode encourages listeners to see coaching as a catalyst for positive change and invites them to explore how these coaching approaches can benefit their leadership, their teams, and their business.
