Executive coaching & your potential

executive coaching is for those around you

Do you lead a team? Do you have a direct report? If so, you probably understand the importance of being an effective leader. Being able to build cohesive teams and empower your direct reports is paramount for any manager. But what about those who are not in management? Are they overlooked when it comes to leadership skills and team building skills? The answer is a resounding yes! We all need support from others and if we can surround ourselves with people who are capable of providing us with constructive feedback, then we will thrive. Coaching allows those around you to grow in areas that are important to them. An executive coach will listen carefully to what you have to say and work with you one-on-one to identify where your natural leadership qualities lie. This allows them to be strengthened, leading to an overall improved performance as well as a more positive team culture at home.

the first thing they say: "Finally"

Coaches will have a first hand perspective on what it's like to be in your shoes and will be able to provide you with constructive feedback that is tailored to how you work. The first thing people around my clients say is usually, "Finally" because they are thrilled to to be with someone who does not pretend any longer, and also understands they have challenges too. At the end of the day, if you want to succeed as a manager or leader, then surround yourself with people who support and motivate you!

Succes is measured by the people around you

When you hire an executive coach, you can be sure that your strengths will shine and your areas for growth will be identified. This allows you to build your team around you and create a culture of success where everyone is contributing to the greater good. For those who are not in management, this doesn’t mean that they should take the easy way out. If you struggle with delegating or understanding leadership styles, then it is important for you to get some support from an executive coach. They will help guide you through these troubled waters and give you the confidence needed to speak up in meetings or confront difficult situations head on.

The benefits for others of you being coached

The benefits of an executive coach are undeniable from both sides. For the person who is being coached, they will get to develop their leadership skills and be empowered to make better decisions on the job. For the organization that would hire a coach for their manager, they will find that the manager has improved with confidence, focus and clarity, and can grow into a more effective leader. Coaching creates a team culture where everyone is heard and gives feedback on what's working and what isn't. It also provides accountability for those around you to have constructive conversations about what they need to improve upon in areas like performance or leadership skills.

coaching beyond the executive level

One of the most important aspects of coaching is that it can be done on a variety of levels. If you are not a manager, but your company still has managers, you can still benefit from coaching. The same goes for those who are not managers but work in the field of leadership or management. The key to successful coaching is finding the right person for you. This is typically someone who shares your values and has similar goals as you. They might have different experiences and life experiences, which will help them relate to different situations. This kind of person will encourage you to push harder and grow in areas that matter most to you. In addition, they should have an engaging style that will make it fun for you to learn!
