Coaching as a Leader
Humble Brag incoming!​​
I didn't used to know what leadership coaching was. I thought only celebrities hired life coaches to tell them what to do.
​
When I learned some of the basics of leadership coaching, I thought...
That's coaching?! I thought that was being a decent supervisor.
Coaching leaders is one of my learned talents
that has become second-nature.
​
There are two areas where I do better than most:
-
picking-up on themes and patterns, and
-
simplifying complex things.
​
When it comes to leadership development, being able to extract a theme from seemingly unrelated stories and then share that observation in plain language is a skillset that my clients highly value.
From experience, I know being a leader is difficult. There's no one way. There's often few people to confide in, if any. And the primary model we have for leadership is only what others have done.
Coaching as a Leader can be utilized by supervisors of teams. It is best when followed by The Aligned Leader Experience to ensure that the client has a vision for their own leadership as well as a focus on how to engage and empower others.
​
Coaching as a Leader starts with a 3-month commitment following The Aligned Leader Experience, or 6-month if started independently.
​
When leaders engage in purposeful coaching rather than leading with questions or athletic-style tell-them-what-to-do coaching, teams can thrive. And supervisor stress tends to drop.
