The Leader as Coach: The Myths of Leadership: Rethinking What Effective Leaders Actually Do September 3, 2026
12pm - 1pm ET
An interactive masterclass with Robin Rose, Ph.D., PCC, on challenging leadership myths through the leader-as-coach approach.
Leadership advice is everywhere: Be decisive. Have the answers. Move fast. Fix problems. Yet many of the assumptions that shape how leaders operate can unintentionally limit learning, ownership and long-term effectiveness.
Join Robin Rose, Ph.D., associate professor of the practice of leadership at Brown University’s School of Professional Studies and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), for a conversation on how leaders can expand their impact by challenging common assumptions about leadership. Drawing on the leader-as-coach approach, this interactive masterclass explores practical strategies that help leaders move beyond reactive problem-solving and foster more meaningful, developmental conversations.
Through a live, discussion-based format, participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with Rose through conversation and Q&A.
Participants will leave with:
- Insight into common leadership myths that shape everyday leadership behavior.
- A clearer understanding of the leader-as-coach mindset.
- Practical strategies to shift conversations in ways that encourage stronger thinking and greater ownership.
