PD Pick: Coaching Skills for PMs – Lead Through Questions, Not Directives
In hybrid and fast-moving environments, teams don’t need more direction — they need more coaching. PMI’s “Basics of Coaching for Project Managers” course is a practical introduction to coaching mindsets and techniques that help PMs empower their teams rather than micromanage them.
🔺 Why It’s Transformational:
-
Power Skills: Builds trust, curiosity, and psychological safety through open-ended questions and reflective dialogue.
-
Ways of Working: Supports agile and hybrid teams where autonomy and ownership drive success.
-
Business Acumen: Helps PMs develop talent, strengthen team performance, and foster long-term capability.
💡 Heather’s Take:
This PD Pick is pure Embrace Curiosity. Coaching shifts the PM role from “problem solver” to “potential unlocker.” It’s a subtle but powerful change that elevates team culture and project outcomes.
