Create an Effective Leadership Coaching Plan

The missing piece in leadership coaching is a structured plan that reinforces training, ensuring sustained learning and a results-driven impact.

For training departments, one of the biggest frustrations is seeing great workshops and learning programs fade as employees return to their day-to-day routines. The content is strong and the delivery engaging, but without reinforcement, behavior change rarely sticks.

That’s why the missing piece in leadership coaching is the plan. Training leaders know that reinforcement is the bridge between learning and lasting impact. And with the right framework and tools, your department can deliver that bridge with ease.

THE POWER OF QALMS

The QALMS frameworkQuestions, Activities, Learning Projects, Motivators, and Supplemental Coaching—provides structure for reinforcing training long after the classroom session ends. For training departments, the benefits include:

  • Sustained learning. Employees continue applying workshop concepts through real-world coaching.
  • Built-in accountability. Learning projects (“Next week, come in with two examples where…”) keep growth measurable.
  • Personalization at scale. Leaders can adapt the same framework to individual employee needs.

When training is paired with QALMS, it doesn’t stop at the event—it becomes an ongoing cycle of growth.
