5 reasons to work with a Leadership Coach
Coaching is a powerful tool that helps an individual create positive purposeful change. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.
Coaching is now more critical than ever, with the current change and discomfort everyone is faced with. As the business environment becomes more complex, leaders and managers will increasingly turn to coaches for help in understanding how to navigate change and behave with their teams. With organisations acquiring and exiting employees, career navigation is on the rise. All of these triggers, are directing individuals to finding themselves a coach.
What value does a coach bring?
Personalisation: A coach focuses on YOU and your specific situation
See yourself more clearly: A coach helps you to build self-awareness; your values, strengths, barriers, aspirations
Pure listening: A coach actively listens to YOU; pure listening to provide you with a space where you can think more clearly and deeply
Learning partner: A coach provides a a confidential and exploration conversation, where they ask questions, challenge assumptions, to help you achieve clarity and learn more about YOU
Set gaols: A coach will ask you what success looks like for YOU; a useful question to ask yourself is ‘what do you want to be able to do better than you do now?’
