The Challenge
Many leaders think coaching is about giving advice, fixing problems, or telling others what to do. But real coaching is different. It’s about creating a space where people discover their own insights — and grow because of it.
Our Approach
The Art of Being a Coach is a 14-week program designed for current practitioners of The MacklinConnection Method who want to step into the role of coach with clarity, purpose, and skill.
From the very beginning, you’ll be invited into The Arena — our live practice ground where coaches-in-training put theory into action, test themselves in real conversations, and receive feedback in community. It’s never too soon to start practicing, because coaching is learned on the field, not in the classroom.
Each participant also takes on a pro bono coaching client — someone new to them — as a way to practice the art of coaching in real life. This creates the courage and humility to discover what coaching really takes.
What to Expect
- 14 weeks of guided exploration and practice
- Weekly calls and access to The Arena for live coaching practice
- A pro bono coaching client for real-world application
- Support from MacklinConnection coaches and peers
Results
- A deeper understanding of what it means to be a coach
- The courage to trust the coaching process instead of “fixing”
- Practical experience that builds confidence and skill
- A foundation for continuing growth in our Leading to Learn program
Why It Works
Because coaching isn’t learned by watching or reading. It’s discovered in the act of listening, asking, reflecting — and practicing again and again with support.
