Coaching Guides

Coach Your Team. Build Their Skills.

Teams need a cohesive set of skills. We build learning beyond the leader.
FutureThink Coaching Guides give leaders structured, practical tools to reinforce human skills across their teams — skills their teams may have first encountered in a workshop. The guides make the learning go beyond the leader.

Your Role

Leaders Are the Reinforcement Layer.

A great workshop ignites skill building. Nano and Micro Courses reinforce it. But what sustains it — what turns a new technique into a permanent behavior — is a leader who shows up consistently and keeps the standard.

Most leaders want to do that. They don’t always have the tools.

Coaching Guides give them the structure: a focused human skill, six practical resources designed to be used directly with teams, and clear coaching prompts that guide real conversations. Not a manual to read before a quarterly review. A tool to use in the actual work — this week, with this team, on this challenge.Every workshop, course, and challenge maps to one of these four. Click any to peek at the full picture — without losing your place.

The Format

One Guide. Six Resources. Eight Weeks of Impact.

Each Coaching Guide is built to be deployed at scale — across a team, a function, or an entire organization — without requiring any additional facilitation expertise.

1

Coaching Guide with practical frameworks and conversation prompts

6

deployable resources designed to drive behavior and culture change

Up to 8

weeks of ongoing application in real work

This structure keeps leaders actively engaged in their teams’ development — and keeps the investment in human skills from fading when the energy of a session naturally wears off.
