Leadership is both an art and a practice, requiring curiosity, reflection, and intentional action. My colleague Helen Zink and I are exploring 10 essential coaching superpowers for leaders.

This series highlights key mindsets and behaviours that help leaders create trust, engagement, and meaningful change within their teams.

In our latest posts, we dive into another three leadership superpowers:

  • Candour – The courage to speak openly, balancing honesty with care. How can you create a culture where people feel safe to share their perspectives, even when the conversations are tough?
  • Sensing – The ability to tune in to your team, to the dynamics in the room, and to the subtleties of what’s unsaid. What shifts when you truly listen to the said and unsaid?
  • Learning – A mindset of continuous growth and adaptability. How do you embrace mistakes, model curiosity, and create space for shared learning?

Each article unpacks practical ways to develop these superpowers, including team meeting exercises and reflection prompts you can apply straight away.
