Corridor Connections: Conversational Management

Coaching From Within: The New Model for Developing Next-Gen Leaders 24/7

Small businesses don’t rise and fall on strategy—they rise and fall on conversations. In today’s competitive talent landscape, owners are feeling the pressure: employees have more options, five generations now occupy the workforce, and next-gen leaders are demanding growth, purpose, and meaningful feedback. Traditional, event-based leadership training doesn’t keep up.

In this interactive session, Tim Cosby—Executive Coach and Co-Founder of Conversational Management—will introduce an “always-on” coaching model that leverages real-time conversations on the job—on the shop floor, in the office, over the phone, or traveling to visit a client—to build bench strength continuously. Drawing from research and real-world coaching experience over the last 15 years, Tim will show you how 90% of leadership development actually happens on the job, through everyday interactions—not workshops. You’ll learn how Conversational Management will distribute development across your leadership team building agility, engagement, and retention.

Attendees will actively participate, observe a simple coaching approach, and walk away with immediately usable tactics and ideas to elevate performance, strengthen culture, and build a pipeline of leaders who take ownership and grow with your organization.
