About Us
CoachingOurselves is a Canadian company founded in 2007 by four partners; Phil LeNir, Henry Mintzberg, Sasha Sadilova and Jonathan Gosling. Our mission is to help managers improve their practice of management. We work with leading management and business thinkers to develop topics that enable small group discussion and reflection for management, leadership and organizational development.
CoachingOurselves began when Phil LeNir, then an engineering director in a software company, searched for an approach to management and leadership development that “cost almost no money, takes little time, and really works”. With the support of Henry Mintzberg and his colleagues from around the world they combined Henry’s ideas with Phil’s real world needs into a practical and highly effective approach for Phil and his team. This evolved into CoachingOurselves, now used by thousands around the world.
The learning philosophy derives from the International Masters Program in Practicing Management (IMPM), founded by Mintzberg, Gosling, and their international colleagues. CoachingOurselves is a natural culmination of the IMPM philosophy: managers learning through reflection on their own experiences in light of conceptual ideas directly in the workplace.
Over 40 authors have contributed to create a library of CoachingOurselves management topics now used by hundreds of corporate and public university programs and initiatives around the world.
