Benefits of Leadership Coaching:
We are all leaders and as leaders we are responsible for our world. Coaching will enable you, whether you are a corporate executive or a stay at home mom, to recognize and develop your leadership style and if desired to change to another style. In fact, we are switching styles throughout the day and not all styles equally satisfy you or the situation.
One of the greatest benefits of coaching is that the results are quick and yet transformation takes time. For example, coaching is not checking off a ‘to do’ list. The results of coaching are that you will show up as the person you want to be and then checking it off your list.
Both Components are Essential
Who you are ‘being’ when you show up to do what you want to do
The benefits of coaching happen after the coaching session. Typically, coaching sessions are scheduled for every two weeks or twice a month. You are the driver of the results. You are the one leading you to live the life you want and resonant of your essence self.
