With coaching you’ll gain self-awareness, clarity, and an action plan faster than struggling on your own. A life coach brings an objective, outside perspective; calls out your BS; and provides the support and accountability you need to succeed.
Enhance Your Soft Skills, Expand Your Influence
You’ve been promoted from contributor to manager — Yay! More visibility, more influence, more financial reward — but you now need to show up with executive presence, capably navigate change and obstacles, and develop individual performance to increase your team dynamics and value. Business success is tied to your ability to develop relationships. One resource to facilitate your growth: A leadership skills coach. Let’s chat!
“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
People don’t leave companies. They leave bad managers. Research has shown that there are a number of key leadership behaviors that you, as an effective manager, need to build proactive, accountable, and resilient teams that passionately further the company mission.
7 behaviors that define an inspiring leader:
- Set and communicate a clear vision
- Model high performance standards
- Set stretch goals and taking initiative
- Champion growth, resilience, and accountability
- Communicate effectively with all audiences
- Compassionately connect with others
- Collaboratively develop, celebrate, and reward others
>>> Do you see any gaps between where you are and where you’d like to be? I can help you to hone your:
1. Leadership Vision. Where are you in up-leveling your self-identity from contributor to leader? How’s your growth mindset? Have you defined your personal values and standard of conduct?
2. Listening Skills. Can you hear what’s being said, and unsaid, and respond appropriately, with curiosity and compassion? Are you able to build connections of understanding and trust?
3. Observation Skills. How well do you pay attention to people, situations, and environments? Are you seeking information, or defaulting to your biases and assumptions?
4. Emotional Intelligence. Can you read other people’s emotions and body language and respond with tact and grace?
5. Emotional Self-regulation. Do you remain composed under stress? What triggers you? How quickly can you redirect your thoughts and emotions to calm yourself? Can you delay gratification?
6. Change Management. Can you take decisive action despite conflict, pressures, unknowns, and potential consequences? What’s your risk tolerance? What fears might you need to conquer?
7. Influence. Are you persuasive in building collaboration, so others risk growth? Do others convey trust in your vision, plans, and judgment?
8. Confident/Effective Communication. Can you comfortably share ideas from the stage, in meetings, and during crucial conversations? Are you a good storyteller?
As your leadership skills coach, I’ll help you to refine your communication, your ability to handle stress, your confidence in making decisions and handling problems and conflict, your adaptability to change, and the transformational shifts you want to experience in your self-identity, mindset, and behavior patterns so you feel confident.
