Our Story
"Thoughtful reflection on natural experience, in the light of conceptual ideas, is the most powerful tool we have for management learning.” - Henry Mintzberg
CoachingOurselves was sparked by a need for change, a need for a more human approach to leadership development. Learn how Phil LeNir went from managing software teams in a US based organization to pioneering a peer-learning approach to leadership development with professor and author Henry Mintzberg.
Our Mission
CoachingOurselves was born from Henry Mintzberg’s approach to management education. But it’s his theory of “Rebalancing Society'' that is front and center in our philosophy. We believe that whatever type of organization you work for, all managers and leaders have a role to play in creating sustainable, inclusive, and human-centered practices of management.
Our mission is to develop more efficient and effective managers that will positively impact their organizations which in turn will be a positive presence in their communities and society as a whole.
