Lead with Curiosity: Why “Leader as Transformational Coach” is a Game-Changer

Lead with Curiosity: Why “Leader as Transformational Coach” is a Game Changer

By Lyn Hawkins | Founder and National Director

A shift happened when Business Women Australia hosted an empowering online workshop – Leader as Transformational Coach, led by Jessica Schubert, BWA’s Head of Leadership Development and founder of Intact Teams.

Designed for women in senior roles, this interactive session brought leadership theory to life through real-world application and introspective discovery.

This article is a taste of what we learnt and a recommendation to reach out to Jessica Schubert.

Have you wondered how to shift from a transactional leadership model to one that inspires and develops?

Know the different leadership roles you actually undertake – including leading, managing, mentoring, training, and coaching. Do you know when coaching truly elevates impact?
Have you developed coaching techniques such as active listening, trust-building, and questioning as the vital elements for sparking ownership and accountability?
Do you integrate coaching into everyday leadership, whether in one-on-ones or team settings?

Jessica Schubert’s session wasn’t just another leadership workshop; it was a call to action:

Lead differently.

Lead with curiosity.

Lead as a coach.

If you’re a woman in management looking for the skills, community, and confidence to lead in a more transformational way, this is exactly where your journey begins.
