How Leadership Coaching Can Help You
Are you wondering exactly how leadership coaching can help you be a better leader?
Leadership coaches partner with clients in a structured, challenging, and creative process, often focused on a particular issue or problem.
Some issues clients bring to leadership coaching include:
- An upcoming opportunity they’d like to leverage
- Wanting to change how they manage or show up as leaders
- Feeling stuck in a certain pattern or management style
- Exploring ways to increase effectiveness
- Navigating a difficult work challenge
Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change. It is present and future-goal oriented. Your coach will ask powerful questions, act as a sounding board, provide objective assessment and observations, listen fully and actively, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives
Coaching starts with a clear agreement about the topics to be explored and the desired outcome. The engagement starts with a 3-to-6-month contract which can be amended as needed. It works best when the client brings a desire to change, a willingness to explore new behaviors, and openness to challenging established patterns.
As the old saying goes, leaders aren’t born, they’re made. And leadership coaching can help you become the leader you want to be.
