Executive and Leadership Coaching
To lead effectively, a leader needs to understand their team. To understand their teams, leaders must first understand themselves. To better understand themselves, leaders need to develop two key areas: Authenticity and Emotional intelligence:
Authenticity helps leaders balance the expectations and culture of an organization with the characteristics and values leaders want to establish with a team. Put simply, it is showing up as they wish to be and merging that with how the team needs them to be. To do this, they need to develop Emotional Intelligence (EI).
Emotional Intelligence (EI) comprises of four parts:
Self-awareness – Awareness of strengths, weaknesses, trigger points, and reactions.
Self-regulation – Learning how to calm the nervous system, manage stress, and develop courage.
Motivations – Finding your drive, resilience, creativity, and readiness to achieve your goals.
Empathy – Connecting with the team, recognizing their humanity, strengths, and weaknesses, and developing the social skills to meet them “as a human.”
Through coaching, you can identify the needs of your team, your organization, and yourself while developing your authentic approach to meeting those needs.
