Why Seek a Coach

Updated: Apr 1, 2020

Small Shifts for Big Impact



I watched a TED Talk recently titled, “Want to get great at something? Get a Coach.” It spoke to the heart of what I do as a coach. It’s not about seeing how you can “fix” someone. It’s about how small shifts may make what they are doing even better, more successful.



Letting go of Ego


“In the end, these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?” Buddha

A Powerful Conversation


Women who choose to meet with me for a coaching conversation reach out for a variety of reasons. Some of them want to:

  1. Understand what’s holding them back from their aspirations

  2. Develop better listening skills

  3. Build more effective relationships

  4. Hold their direct reports accountable

  5. Build trust within their team and the organization

  6. Explore how to positively influence others, stand out and gain a “seat at the table”

  7. Network more strategically and leverage relationships they currently have

  8. Understand how to navigate roadblocks set by workplace politics

  9. Manage time more efficiently and organize their work environment for success

  10. Develop and cultivate relationships with key stakeholders

  11. Increase their emotional resilience

  12. Build and sustain a high performing team

  13. Increase their own internal/eternal awareness

  14. Learn how to better set measurable goals, actionable strategies and priorities

  15. Be better at collaboration and partner more on projects

  16. Create a culture of people with growth mindsets



Go from Point A to B with Intention


Coaching makes many of the world's most successful people - from athletes to business people - accelerate their success.

The reasons above are just a few, but important. They are what great leaders need to know to advance their careers, increase their leadership acumen and enhance their personal growth. More often than not, it’s the small shifts when one engages, makes decisions or plans that make big positive impacts.


Get Inspired


A coach could be just what you need to take your leadership to the next level.
