No woman starts out thinking, “When I grow up, I want to be a perfectionist,” yet here we are. So, this Mother’s Day, let me give you a gift. You have my permission to forget perfect. Good enough is good enough.
Hiring an executive coach can be a game-changer for your career or your organization’s success. How do I know this? Because early in my career, my company provided me with a coach.
A good executive coach can help you identify blind spots, develop leadership skills, and achieve your goals. However, not all executive coaches are created equal, and there are common mistakes to avoid when choosing an executive coach.
What if you could predict the future and pretty much guarantee that you’ll get a promotion at work in the new year. Would you be willing to make an investment for a sure bet?
Over the past 25 years, I’ve coached dozens of leaders who have achieved amazing levels of success. Here’s what I’ve learned from this experience.
A CEO I work with recently confessed that before meeting me, he was skeptical about executive coaches. I understand that as there are no barriers to entry in this field.
This means anyone can call themselves a coach.
He recently wrote me a note saying, “Because of you, I am a much better CEO than I could have imagined. You have helped me to learn from some of the most difficult decisions in my career. You have also helped me understand the value of being direct and leading with the heart.”
You might be surprised to know that coaches can also be skeptical.
You’re thinking about pulling the trigger and hiring a coach because:
You’re a good leader, but you know you could be better.
You’re not feeling as satisfied at work as you used to feel.
You think there could be better opportunities out there for you, but you’re not sure.
You think you should hire a coach, but you don’t want to look weak. However, it seems like everyone has a coach these days, so why not you, right?
There may be times in your life when coaching can be extremely beneficial and other times when it’s not. Let’s break it down.
Finding the right talent that will prosper and stay is even harder when you do it alone.
