Executive Coaching

Unlearning a lot of what worked for us as children is a vitally important choice that capable leaders must make. Hiding flaws, not drawing attention to our authentic selves, getting stuck in patterns of perfectionism and overly critical beliefs about ourselves and others – these are rational choices in middle school. But if you are a leader who wants to do more than help your team survive, these choices no longer serve you.

Changing is easy. It’s the transitions required to win the change that kill our resolve, because we don’t understand the nature of change and personal growth.

Not knowing where to start. Experiencing defeat when we can’t just snap our fingers and “be more strategic,” “be more confident,” or “be a better leader.” The self-doubt that lurks constantly when we find that reading the right books, attending the right courses, receiving great advice, understanding our personality profiles and even following specific directives from our superiors just don’t get us there. This is where many leaders live every day.

You don’t have to stay there, and you don’t have to settle for “good enough” and “safe.” Make a decision to grow yourself or the leaders who report to you. Make a difference by learning how to be your best. For real.
