Attract and Retain Thriving Employees with Coaching and Mentoring

Leo MacLeod is a seasoned content and practice expert with a focus on leadership, coaching, and mentoring, particularly within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry.

The author of ‘Coaching and Mentoring for Dummies’ and ‘From the Ground Up: Stories and Lessons from Architects and Engineers Who Learned to Be Leaders,’ brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion. Beyond his professional expertise, Leo shares his passion for playing the ukulele and baking pies when he’s not engaged in coaching activities.

During this conversation, Leo sheds light on the crucial role coaching and mentoring play in the architecture industry. He articulates the differences between coaching and mentoring and unveils how these practices can be instrumental in developing leadership skills and providing valuable support to employees. Leo goes beyond theory, offering practical advice on initiating coaching relationships, providing effective feedback, establishing accountability, and navigating generational differences within the workplace.

Throughout the episode, Leo underscores the significance of building genuine relationships and expressing care for employees. He leaves listeners with a key takeaway: coaching and mentoring are not just beneficial but absolutely essential for fostering successful businesses and retaining a pool of talented and thriving employees.
