Evaluating and Improving Our Coaching Skills

Leading in a hybrid world: are your coaching skills future-ready?

When your team is sometimes on screen, sometimes in the room, and sometimes across borders — coaching needs more than good intent. It needs method, presence, and a clear way to blend virtual and face-to-face coaching without losing depth.

On Wednesday 22 April 2026 (Sydney), Professor Grace McCarthy (Honorary Professor, University of Wollongong; founder of the Master of Business Coaching) will lead an engaging, research-backed workshop based on her latest book:
Successful Coaching for Leaders and Managers: How to Blend Virtual and Face-to-Face Coaching Effectively for Today’s Hybrid Workplaces.

Expect practical tools and live exploration across core coaching skills:
• Observation
• Deep listening
• Powerful questioning
• Goal setting
• Feedback and reflection

Grace will also step into the organisational layer — systems thinking, coaching culture, cross-cultural leadership, and coaching across multinational organisations — plus practical guidance on how technology and GenAI can support reflection and feedback without becoming the “coach”.
