Leadership coaching in the voluntary sector: How can it help?

Speaker: Jacqueline Baxter, Professor of Public Leadership and Management at the Open University Business School. Jacqueline is a coach and mentor, Member of The Association For Coaching and Fellow of the Academy of social sciences.
Leadership coaching plays a pivotal role in enhancing effectiveness and impact within the voluntary sector. Through personalised guidance and skill development, leadership coaches assist individuals in non-profit organisations to refine their leadership competencies and navigate complex challenges. According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching empowers leaders by fostering self-awareness and strategic thinking ("The Business Impact of Leadership Coaching," 2020). This is particularly valuable in the voluntary sector, where limited resources and diverse stakeholder needs demand agile decision-making and innovative problem-solving.
This session will examine how you can use a common model of coaching to aid your employees and volunteer development.
