Coaching can be a transformational experience and one of self-discovery.
Coaching as a tool has changed over the years or certainly our perception of why it is used has changed. This is of course my opinion and that is heavily influenced by my own experience.
As a leader I’ve experienced having a coach at a time of crisis; as a HR professional I’ve built coaching into my roles to support leaders and to help them develop operationally and strategically and to become confident in their own leadership style. I’ve worked in organisations where coaching has been used for leadership development in a very positive and pro-active way either through manager recommendation or employee self-selection and I've seen it used as an intervention when things aren't quite going right for an individual.
Coaching has it's place in many situations and there are many reasons why people select coaching as a tool to support them or why a leader might recommend coaching for their team, whether that be group, team or individual coaching. Coaching can be truly transformational for my clients and I love to that and the journey we take together. The in the moment lightbulb moments are great as are the transformations they make and take out of the session. Seeing and hearing about being comfortable with the leader they are, identifying areas to help develop their style whilst keeping that authentic self and taking their discoveries from our session to their life and work place where they then take accountability for their actions and the positive impact it has on their teams to reach full potential and drive individual and business performance is rewarding.
What are some of the benefits or focus points that can come up when taking the coaching journey as a leader? Below are a few examples.
Self-awareness and Personal Growth
Leadership coaching provides a reflective space for individuals to delve deep into their own strengths, weaknesses, and behavioural patterns. Through insightful questioning and guided introspection, as a coach I help leaders gain a clearer understanding of themselves, their values, beliefs and their motivations. This heightened self-awareness is a great foundation for personal growth, enabling you as a leader to identify areas for improvement and leverage your strengths more effectively.
Enhanced Communication and Improved Interpersonal skills
Strategic Thinking and Decision Making
Empowering Leadership Style
Resilience and Stress Management
Accelerated Career Growth
