This is a hybrid experience: 1073 North Benson Road Fairfield, Connecticut 06824

About the Program: A coaching culture thrives where everyone, from peers to leaders, fuels mutual growth toward peak results, building a relationship-rich environment of support, development, and excellence. This session reveals how to embed coaching into everyday interactions across today's fast-evolving workplaces, flatter, AI-influenced, and complex. Beyond formal programs, discover peer-to-peer practices and psychological safety that boost individual and organizational impact. Leave with hands-on experience: reflection, real discussions, and peer coaching you can apply immediately!

Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, participants will gain a deeper understanding of why coaching cultures often struggle to take hold, even in organizations that actively prioritize them. They will learn to recognize how psychological safety manifests, or breaks down, during real coaching moments, especially in high-pressure situations. Finally, participants will identify practical, organization-wide strategies to embed coaching into daily work, moving beyond leader- or program-centered approaches to create a more sustainable coaching culture.
