A realization today. A large part of my coaching practice is working for corporations, providing individual leadership coaching for good leaders who the organization want to develop into great leaders with exposure to self-management skills, executive presence, higher level awareness and accountability tactics.
I’m inspired by this work because these clients come to the table with incredible humility, a thirst to learn, an openness to get it right not be right, and a relief that someone is finally helping them discover within themselves their unique genius and how to use it while managing the intrusive thoughts that lead to crippling emotions and behaviors that undermine their peace and efficacy.
I am encouraged by the growing number of organizations that see that training and development, while very important, is not enough to help leaders search inside themselves for the shift necessary to unleash greatness. Challenging assumptions, letting go of perfectionism as a shield over fear, finding the still space in a crisis moment before a regrettable behavior emerges, rerouting repeated thought patterns, swapping expectations for acceptance - these aren’t skills we learn in trainings or from books because we have a confirmation bias around our perceptions. It’s a relief to have a trusted third party steward us to new habits and consistent new ways of thinking and operating.
