The importance of coaching with Glee Coaching

Introduction

In this episode of the RISE Podcast, Claire Brown speaks with leadership coach Barbra Carlisle of Glee Coaching about the critical role leadership and coaching play in delivering successful retrofit programmes.

The episode explores how retrofit leaders can navigate ambiguity, manage complex teams, support behaviour change and create psychologically safe environments where people feel heard and empowered. Barbra shares insights into self-awareness, communication, team dynamics, accountability and why coaching is about curiosity and growth rather than fixing performance.

The conversation also highlights the importance of inclusive leadership, celebrating small wins, avoiding burnout and building resilient teams capable of delivering large scale retrofit projects while keeping residents and communities at the heart of the process.
