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
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.
You’ve been promoted from contributor to manager. Congratulations! More visibility, more influence, more rewards — but you now need to develop executive presence, capably navigate change and obstacles, think strategically, delegate well, and develop individual and team performance. Your soft skills now really matter. A resource that can help to facilitate your growth: A leadership skills coach. Let’s chat!
5 behaviors that define an effective leader. Where do you need to stretch?
≡ Sets and communicates a clear vision and expectations
≡ Models high performance and ethical standards
≡ Champions growth, resilience, and accountability
≡ Communicates effectively to gain buy-in
≡ Collaboratively develops, celebrates, and rewards others
Together we can work 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 leadership values and standards 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 connection and trust?
3. Observation Skills. Are you skilled in noticing people, situations, and environments? Are you seeking information, or defaulting to your biases and assumptions?
4. Emotional Intelligence. Can you effectively read other people’s emotions and body language?
5. Emotional Self-regulation. Do you remain composed under stress? What triggers you? How quickly are you able to redirect your thoughts and manage your emotions? Can you delay gratification?
6. Change Management. Can you take decisive action despite conflict, pressure, unknowns, and potential consequences? What’s your risk tolerance? What fears tend to sabotage you?
7. Influence. Do you easily build collaboration? Do others trust your vision, plans, and judgment? Are you deliberate in your words, actions, and body language?
8. Effective Communication. Can you comfortably share ideas from the stage, in meetings, and in crucial conversations? Are you an inspiring 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 shifts you want to experience in your self-identity, mindset, and behavior patterns. It starts with building your self-awareness, and identifying and flexing your innate superpowers.
