Course details

Coaching high-potential talent requires more than foundational coaching skills. The managers who successfully develop future leaders make different decisions about feedback, stretch assignments, scope, and pace—decisions that accelerate growth without undermining team trust or performance.

In this course, Dr. Ruth Gotian shows experienced managers how to coach high potentials through ambiguity, nonlinear growth, and expanding responsibility. Drawing on her research on high achievement, Ruth moves past one-size-fits-all coaching to focus on the trade-offs that shape real talent development: when to push, when to protect, and when to differentiate. Are you ready to start making smarter, better development decisions in the situations that matter most?

This course includes AI-powered Role Play. Role Play allows you to practice what you’ve learned in interactive simulations of real-world conversations.
