Most managers want to be great coaches, but few are actually taught how. The result? 1:1s become status updates, feedback gets delayed, and managers end up solving problems for their teams instead of helping people think through challenges themselves.
In this episode, Vara sits down with Anne Louise, National Manager of Leadership Development at YMCA Canada, to unpack what effective coaching looks like in practice. They cover how to run better 1:1s, give behavior-based feedback without making it personal, balance empathy with accountability, and know when coaching needs to shift into performance management.
Ann Louise also shares a simple framework managers can use right away: Connect → Clarify → Be Curious → Close.
