Engagement, Energy and Empowerment. We all want to experience these positive feelings when we are at work. As a leader, we could nurture these qualities in the teams we lead through a coaching style of leadership.
This workshop empowers participants to play their people developer role even more effectively by activating their coaching mindset and skillsets. When we coach, we believe that others are way more creative and resourceful than they give themselves credit for. When we coach, we listen to understand; and we prefer to ask more than we tell or advise.
Growing our own coaching competencies and habits as leaders help us to unleash the power of insight, intrinsic motivation and initiative in our colleagues. It also frees us from the notion that as leaders we must know-it-all and solve-it-all. When our team grows in confidence and competence, we come to navigate our increasingly complex and uncertain environment with all minds, all hearts and all hands on deck.
Participants will examine some concerns and misconceptions about coaching. We will realise that coaching does not have to take a very long time; it can be done effectively in 10 minutes or less. Coaching also need not be an additional thing we do; it can be integrated into how we communicate and interact with others. Moreover, coaching is not rigid; leaders can flexibly customise their coaching moves to better meet the needs of their team members.
Target Audience: All leaders and aspiring leaders are invited to join this workshop.

Key Competencies
Mr Chan Yew Wooi served the Ministry of Education (MOE) with distinction in schools and in MOE HQ. In his 35 years as an educator, he led two secondary schools as a principal. He was also the Director of the Professional Development Branch in the Academy of Singapore Teachers from 2013- 2018. His final MOE appointment as Senior Consultant with the Centre for Educational Leadership at MOE allowed him to make a difference to the leadership growth of School Leaders and Middle Managers working in public schools in Singapore.
An Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, Mr Chan has deep interest in facilitating personal transformation through coaching. In his various leadership roles with MOE, Mr Chan also facilitated workshops relating to themes like culture building, personal mastery, transitioning to different roles, socio-emotional skill development and vertical growth. A coach practitioner in the Soundwaves Model, Mr Chan believes that leaders’ conversational competencies matter greatly. With enhanced awareness and support, leaders learn how they can skilfully adapt their verbal strategies to meet the needs of their teams. In turn, these leaders foster high commitment, deep fulfillment, and sustained improvements in team outcomes.
A learner, leader and ultimately, a teacher at heart, Mr Chan seeks to create an environment that optimizes learning engagement and outcomes in his role as a facilitator of adult learning and leadership development.
