Can’t wait to read more! Especially as you build your alumni pool, I’m interested to see how much this coaching actually shapes people’s careers. I’ve worked at places that did management training and coaching before, and a constant struggle was the difference between subjective individual benefit (“this coaching really helped me change my perspective and approach! I feel much improved!”) versus objective aggregate benefit (“this person is demonstrably a better manager within the organization”). Obviously the two are connected, but I don’t know that one predicts the other.
Individual subjective benefit is still good though (especially looking at your section 3 ‘giving permission’ - where the blocker is entirely internal and subjective in the first place)! Interested in seeing how this looks over time!
