CoachingOurselves is an innovative management development program co-created by Professor Henry Mintzberg, a renowned academic and author on organizations and management, and Phil LeNir, former director in a global high-tech firm. Though relatively new, CoachingOurselves is used internationally in such organizations as SAP in Germany (the second largest software company in the world) and Fujitsu SSL in Japan.

“CoachingOurselves is the right solution at the right time. When we introduced this to the managers, they said, 'This is the best approach we have seen in a long time. It is close to what we do. We can use it right away. No fluff.' It is very easy and flexible and puts the people topic on the agenda.”

Topics by leading management thinkers
Working with leading management experts around the world, CoachingOurselves has developed an exclusive library of management training material. Our topics include management and leadership concepts, practical techniques, and interactive exercises. Managers gain new perspectives and ideas while addressing their specific managerial and organizational issues; all the necessary elements to drive positive change. We can work with you to develop a “cluster” of topics that meet your managerial and organizational needs: whether you need to develop new managers, are dealing with widespread organizational change, or are facing another strategic challenge.
Groups of managers developing themselves and their organization
The concept is simple: self-directed groups of 6-8 managers develop a shared understanding of the material and relate it to their unique work context. Managers leverage their collective experience to learn from each others’ successes, exploring options to generate innovative solutions to current issues. The benefits are many because CoachingOurselves goes beyond typical management programs to engage managers in a natural, longer-term process of ongoing development. Individuals gain leadership skills, teams bond, and the organization becomes transformed by managers who are more reflective and adaptive to organizational change.
Woven into the work day
Our approach is different: CoachingOurselves occurs in the workplace, during work hours, as bi-weekly, 90-minute sessions. This ensures the learning weaves itself into the manager's day-to-day work in an easy, complimentary fashion.
