Better Humans Make Better Leaders
Identifying and fixing a blind spot is hard to do, especially by yourself. I know, I’ve tried. For most people, blind spots fall under the “hidden from me” soft skills umbrella. Sometimes these are called “career derailers” and without a honest and caring 3rd party perspective, you may never see yours until it’s too late. I know, I’ve done that too. What I love about my work is I get to have conversations with people they typically can't have with anyone else. Not a mentor. Not a spouse. Not a manager. And not even with a best friend. The magic is in the “mirror”. My coaching process is for us to create a safe space for you to think, to explore, to “theory test”, and to identify those behaviors you want to "do less of" and those you want to "do more of". As the "kind, truth telling coach", I will be totally supportive of you and your goals. You’ll know you’re making progress when the people around you say “Somethings different. I like it!” Schedule a call now so we can get started.
