HR as Coach: Develop Strategic HRBP's

At Emerge, we equip Human Resources professionals to move beyond transactional support and become transformational leaders. The HR as Coach program builds internal coaching capability within HR teams—empowering HR Business Partners (HRBPs) to influence change, unlock leadership capacity, and drive performance through strategic conversations.

HR as Coach is a structured, practice-based training program that embeds coaching behaviors into the daily mindset, language, and actions of HR professionals. Through a series of immersive modules, peer coaching pods, and applied business scenarios, participants evolve from “HR support” to “trusted advisor and catalyst for transformation.”

This is not about turning HR into certified coaches—it’s about embedding coaching capability where it’s needed most: inside the system.

Participants will be equipped to:

- Adopt a coaching mindset that enables deeper partnership and influence

- Lead strategic coaching conversations with business stakeholders

- Apply coaching within performance management and change initiatives

- Align coaching practice with enterprise transformation and agility

- Use coaching to build resilience, clarity, and accountability in others

Delivered in three progressive modules over a 12-week period, the program integrates learning, real-time application, and reflection.

ADKAR Coaching Model

A structured approach to identify and address root causes of resistance, enabling HRBPs to  support transformation more effectively.

4-Step Coaching Conversation Model & Best Practice Prompts

This program is ideal for:

- HR Business Partners supporting transformation or enterprise change

- HR leaders aiming to embed coaching into their team culture

- People leaders seeking to build internal OD or talent advisory capabilities

- Organizations ready to elevate HR from function to force multiplier

The coaching capability gap inside organizations is real—but solvable. HR teams are uniquely positioned to drive influence, yet many lack the tools and permission to coach effectively. HR as Coach bridges that gap through:

- Experiential learning tied directly to business challenges

- Peer practice with structured feedback loops

- Tools that reinforce reflection, insight, and accountability

- Alignment with enterprise change frameworks (e.g., ADKAR)
