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.
Managers are extremely worried that their best people are about to bolt, as finding replacements for these people is harder than it’s ever been. This can be great news for you if you play your cards right.
Getting a promotion seems like it should be super easy. Do good work and you’ll be noticed. If only that were enough.
Here’s the real skinny on how to get promoted.
While I was coaching a client, she received a $100K pay raise from her employer. She said this would never have happened had she not engaged my services.
As a result of our coaching engagement, she became bolder at work, which caught the attention of her boss. He then began to give her juicier assignments, which she took on with enthusiasm. Her boss recognized how valuable she was to the organization and quickly realized how lost he’d be without her. So, without any prompting, he awarded her a $100K pay increase.
Here’s how she scored a $100K raise.
Finding the right talent that will prosper and stay is even harder when you do it alone.
