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 and often called “career derailers”. 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 can't have with anyone else. Not a mentor. Not a spouse. Not a manager. During coaching, we'll create a confidential and safe space for you to think, explore, theory test, and identify those behaviors you want to do less of and those you want to do more of. You’ll know you’re making progress when the people around you say “Somethings different. I like it!” Sign up now so we can get started.
