Hey there,
Everybody needs support sometimes. When careers become convoluted or pathways obstructed, an executive coach is the person in your life who will bring the perspective and the perseverance to see your way through.
Consider this: You’ve had a particular business challenge vexing you for a while now. No matter how hard you try to get you and your team past roadblocks and into peak performance mode, but it just doesn’t seem to be going the way you had envisioned and there just doesn’t seem to be any logical explanation for it. After all, you’ve brought every skill and strategy you’ve learned leading up to this role….why isn’t what’s worked in the past working now?
Perhaps you’re relying too heavily on the skills that got you to this promotion, the very ones that helped you thrive in the previous role, but this job requires a whole new set of skills. You are stuck in “the way we’ve always done it,” and that ol’ chestnut is holding you back.
You could just need a fresh perspective, a new way of looking at things, or the voice of reason to guide you back to “Progress Paradise.”
Or, maybe you’ve got some bigger fish to fry, moving into a new vertical, piloting a program, pivoting. Executive coaching can help you move the needle, faster and more effectively. After all, problem-solving, personal empowerment, and letting go of toxic tactics we may not even know are holding us back.
We all need a little help sometimes, outside of the resources available to the company as a whole—your personalized power-player here to help you and only you “do the thing.” Whether you need a pinch-hitter to help you work through or move past a particular problem, or someone who will walk alongside you in advocacy and agency for the long haul, an executive coach can be the difference between stress / sleeplessness and confidence / clarity. It’s our job to lead the leader so that they can make more of an impact with their work.
If you (or someone you love) has been thinking about tapping into the kind of immersive support that only having a coach can bring, I encourage you to explore executive coaching. After all, humans gonna human, let’s help each other along the way.
