What Really is a Coaching Culture and Why Create One?

In this episode we talk about coaching culture, what it is and the benefits of creating one. We share and discuss the five things that the coaching culture magazine says that are needed to create a coaching culture.

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” is a quote attributed to Peter Drucker and we agree. The only way you can be nimble enough to succeed in a VUCA world is to have a culture fit for it - and that means a culture where a coaching leadership style is valued.


Simply training managers in coaching skills often doesn’t aid in transforming a culture and we talk about the changes that need to be made, including how we need leaders to model the attributes of coaching leaders.


We’d like you to know that we offer Coaching Culture Programmes to help organisations transform in this area using our very own coaching cards. If this is of interest then please do get in touch for a conversation: info@thecoachingquestion.com

About the Podcast

The Coaching Question
Exploring the world of coaching in business, for coaches, users and buyers of coaching
Two experienced executive coaches, Sarah Turner and Gregor Findlay discuss topics pertinent to those that commission and use coaching in organisations, as well as for coaches themselves.

We want more coaching conversations to be happening in the world and while there are lots of resources targetted at coaches, there seem to be less targetted at helping those that bring coaches into organisations.
