The Coaching Leader Program: Develop Strength, Performance and Attraction in Your Talent

Synopsis

Leaders today face relentless pressure as change cycles accelerate and expectations continue to rise. Managing results, leading teams, and developing talent simultaneously often traps leaders in constant fire-fighting, leaving little time for strategic focus or succession development. Over time, this leads to burnout, disengagement, and stalled performance. This program introduces a coaching-based leadership approach that enables leaders to develop their people more effectively while reducing dependency and overload. Through practical tools, communication techniques, and applied coaching skills, leaders learn how to guide talent toward alignment, engagement, adaptability, and sustainable performance in an increasingly complex workplace.

Target Audience

People managers and leaders responsible for developing and engaging teams. Organisations seeking to build coaching capability and leadership effectiveness.

Key Benefits

Leadership through coaching works: Leaders understand that sustainable performance comes from developing thinking, ownership, and adaptability rather than constant control. From overwhelmed to capable: Leaders feel more confident and equipped to support their people without carrying every problem themselves. Apply coaching daily: Leaders use coaching questions, techniques, and frameworks immediately in conversations, meetings, and performance discussions.

Coaching Leaders: Optimise Talent, Unleash Success

Synopsis

Significant investments are made every year in recruitment and training, yet many financial advisors never reach their full potential. Some lose motivation, others leave before results appear, and many struggle to sustain performance despite capability. The missing link is often not skill or effort, but how leaders cultivate and coach their talent. This session highlights a critical blind spot in leadership and talent development, revealing why traditional approaches fail to unlock sustained performance. Through practical insights, real examples, and proven coaching principles, leaders will learn how to better support advisors through change, challenge limiting patterns, and create conditions where talent stays, grows, and performs consistently.

Target Audience

Financial advisory leaders responsible for developing and retaining advisor talent. Managers and team leaders seeking to move beyond training into performance coaching.

Key Benefits

Performance is coached, not forced: Leaders realise sustainable results come from guiding behavioural change rather than pushing outcomes, allowing talent to grow with ownership. From frustration to confidence: Leaders feel more assured and capable in supporting advisors through challenges, resistance, and transitions toward higher performance. Coach with structure and intent: Leaders apply coaching principles, ask better questions, and support advisors through change using practical tools immediately after the session.

How To Stop Playing Small And Step Into Your Own Greatness

Synopsis

Many capable leaders and professionals know they are meant for more, yet continue to hold back despite years of encouragement and external validation. The real challenge is not a lack of talent, knowledge, or opportunity, but unseen internal narratives that quietly shape behaviour, confidence, and choices. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, Lin Tan helps participants uncover why people continue to play small, even when they know better. This session provides powerful insight into how thoughts become habits, habits become identity, and identity determines results. Participants will learn how to consciously shift inner dialogue, dismantle self-doubt, and step into leadership with clarity, courage, and consistency.

Target Audience

Emerging and senior leaders seeking to lead with confidence and authenticity. Professionals and managers experiencing self-doubt, comparison, or imposter syndrome despite strong capabilities.

Key Benefits

Choosing the greater self: Participants realise greatness is a conscious choice shaped by thoughts, not circumstances, enabling them to lead with clarity, self-trust, and intentional confidence. From doubt to grounded confidence: Participants feel lighter, more assured, and emotionally steady as self-doubt and internal noise lose their influence over daily actions. Act with visible confidence: Participants apply tools to interrupt limiting thoughts, make clearer decisions, and show up more decisively in leadership and professional settings.
