Successful leadership bridges the gap between what matters to you and what matters to me – what matters to the individual employee and what matters to the organization. It guides people to align their own strengths and values with the goals of the business.
Why? Because this drives engagement. When people are empowered to show up as their true selves, they gain a strong sense of ownership over what they create, and passion to see things through. That drives productivity, creativity and collaborative problem solving.
Corporate and leadership coaching focuses on strengthening your leadership in order to strengthen your organization. This begins with bringing out the very best in your leaders and executives, and coaching them in relationship management and human emotional intelligence, so that they are fully equipped and empowered to bring out the best in their people as well – to recognize and cultivate strengths at all levels, build collaborative relationships and strengthen engagement.
In today’s market, effective leadership is coaching. Command and control is the management style of the past. It’s a style that keeps people (and the companies they work for) locked into status quo. By coaching leaders and executives to take full authorship of their lives, and to then become coaches within your organization, the people they lead are empowered to grow and progress, which means your business has greater power to grow and progress.
But getting to that place starts with dropping the masks and having the courage to be our true selves, as leaders.
Are you struggling with…
Whether you realize it or not, the core is fear.
When people avoid owning up to mistakes, avoid taking risks, shift blame, shy away from new responsibilities, avoid asking for help, struggle to find creative solutions, talk in circles instead of being clear, don’t speak up in meetings… that’s fear!
You may be experiencing it without even recognizing it. This is when you keep your cards close, avoid difficult conversations, prefer to smooth things over rather than dig down to the heart… How is someone going to share their fears, admit mistakes, work on their own growth when they see you hiding?
I will help you get so comfortable being YOU that it will have a domino effect on your team and others around you.
As leaders, our greatest impact is in creating safe spaces for teams to thrive as their best selves.
