In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Novisedlak, an ICF Professional Certified Coach and adult learning expert, to explore how coaching helps leaders navigate change, build self-awareness, and unlock human potential.
Kathy draws from her extensive experience in human resources and the pharmaceutical industry to share how coaching and adult learning work hand in hand. She highlights the importance of believing people are whole and resourceful, creating space for clarity, and helping leaders move from advice-giving to powerful questioning.
Key takeaway: When leaders use coaching with their teams—asking powerful questions instead of giving answers—they build resilience, reduce overwhelm, and help people navigate change with greater clarity.
