October 2023

In her speech at the WEF on October 30th, 2023, in London, Eleonora Bonacossa emphasized the importance of coaching as a crucial skill for leaders. Despite its transformative potential, coaching remains underutilized due to outdated leadership practices that prioritize giving advice over asking questions. She outlined a coaching mindset focused on conversations that help individuals and teams set goals and identify resources.
Eleonora Bonacossa introduced five steps to develop coaching skills, including self-observation, active listening, asking focused questions, exploring inner resources, and fostering trust. By mastering these skills, leaders can innovate their approach and enhance their effectiveness in guiding others.
