Make the contribution you want and
know you can make.
Bring greater self-awareness and skill to your leadership practices, based on these core ideas:
- Authentic leadership involves supporting an organization you believe in – an organization that holds high value for you and for which you are willing to share your time, treasure, and talent.
- Authentic leadership embraces the qualities of cooperation, collaboration, and compassion – these are our natural human qualities. This is about listening to our rational brain and our hearts when it comes to what we do and how we do it, and bring this to others.
- Authentic leadership brings with it the value of discovery. It involves being curious about others and what will best serve them.
Leadership is an inside-out job.
We can only lead and unlock the potential in others when we know ourselves. Becoming aware of our strengths and our blind spots allows us to create a powerful vision and roadmap that align with our highest ideals and goals, and enlist our team to bring their authentic strengths, skills and gifts to the realization of that vision.
We do not do this in a vacuum. None of us can do this alone. That’s the truth, and that’s a good thing! Engaging with others in a worthy endeavor is one of the most rewarding and fun things we will do! Knowing how to do this is the opportunity ahead of us as leaders.
Coaching is your key to leading with genuine meaning, purpose and clear-minded action.
You have no doubt set a high bar and multiple expectations for yourself and your team. Engaging a coach will make all the difference in reaching that bar and those expectations! Coaching involves:
- Partnering with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential.
- You set the direction and the pace.
- We focus on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change.
Consider these three top reasons from the Harvard Business Review for engaging a coach:
- Develop high potentials or facilitate transition – 48%
- Act as a sounding board – 26%
- Address derailing behavior – 12%
There is no doubt that coaching helps a leader excel. As quoted in the Harvard Business Review:
- Companies that offer training alone experience 22.4% increase in productivity, but when combined with coaching that figure rises to 88%. Gerald Olivero, Denise Bane & Richard Kopelman, Public Personnel Management.
- A conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from coaching, according to Fortune magazine, is that managers describe an average return of more than six times the cost of coaching.
- Companies who combine coaching with training increase employee productivity over 80%. Bureau of Justice statistics, June 2001.
- A Manchester, Inc. study in 2001 demonstrated a 7-fold return on investment from coaching.
