My coaching style is professional, yet personal. I am a deep listener and strategic “thought partner” that will respectfully probe, challenge, call out limiting patterns, connect dots, and champion change.
Experienced managers come with a level of leadership experience that can be evaluated by utilizing assessments as a great jumping-off point in identifying areas for growth or development as we explore their professional aspirations. Fine-tuning a career strategy as they begin to think longer-term about their leadership journey, or prepare for their next role, is a common focus. Setting a course of action for the skills required for that journey is a typical goal.
In supporting individual contributors and high-potential talent, I focus on habits and patterns that support or hinder their professional growth. These may be behavioral, emotional, or mental. We work to make adjustments that will enhance their contributions and support where they see themselves professionally.
A key area of focus with new leaders is shifting from the “technical skills” required to accomplish an individual contributor role to acquiring and honing leadership capabilities, perspectives, and habits. A common struggle is how to navigate the transition to leading others who were previously peers. It’s important to notice what caused them to succeed as an individual contributor that can be leveraged in this current context for success, and what new skills need to be acquired.
