XEd Space and the Australian Scholarships Foundation, are partnering to help build capacity in the Australian For-Purpose sector with an exclusive Better Conversations Every Day™ (BCE™) cohort.
BCE™ is a simple, evidence-based, and practical short course to build coaching skills. Participants learn core behaviours and practice the types of candid conversations that build stronger relationships through trust, fuel collaboration, and enable better business outcomes.
No matter the size of your organisation, BCE™ helps drive business outcomes and create lasting change. Uniquely created for everyone and every single conversation — from the front desk to the corner office.
This program helps creates a common mindset, skillset, and leadership language at your organisation and build a coaching culture of feedback. It equips people with the expertise, tools, and motivation to break down silos and bring business strategy to life.
- Ideal for employees at all levels.
Course overview
Better Conversations Every Day™ applies a simple and practical approach to teaching a set of complex skills. XEd Space’s focus on 4 core behaviours applied to real workplace challenges to build trust, fuel collaboration, enable better business outcomes, and create immediate results.
These 4 core behaviours are:
- Listen to understand – Listening is critical to building trust and respect. BCE™ equips you with a powerful approach to listening that involves paying full attention, avoiding premature judgment, reflecting empathy, clarifying, summarising and sharing.
- Ask powerful questions – Great conversations begin with great questions, and BCE teaches you to enhance the quality of questions. The idea is not for you to solve the other person’s problem — but to provoke self-reflection and discovery.
- Challenge and Support – A simple, yet effective, method to establishing a clear picture of what is possible. The key is challenging current constraints and giving feedback.
- Establish next steps and accountability – The BCE experience improves outcomes by moving people to action and accountability. This happens through collaboration to define specific goals and focusing on the most important leverage points.
