Wishing and hoping and complaining and trying and trying and trying harder, sometimes helps resolve conflict and arrive at happy endings.
Most of the time, it's the grit and grace of leading yourself well, in thought and tangible actions that create more meaningful outcomes.
Another human being, trained in the coaching modality, with a back pocket of a plethora of neuroscience tools, strong credible ethics, lived experience and professional training, is almost always a difference-maker in sustainable change - for whatever reason you may come to coaching.
I know what it is to experience the entire agenda on the text in this post. I know what it is to be challenged and supported by a trusted coach who helped make the invisible visible while I did the work to lead myself through to the other side of what mattered most to me..
A life-long work of leadership in process.
No matter how many leadership books you read, or downloaded apps you pay for, meaning-making happens with real humans in real time.
A leadership coach is someone who holds space for your values, your meaningful purpose while you navigate your perspectives, beliefs, goals, desired outcomes and sites of shaping - to a place of clarity, resonance and significance to who YOU are now and who you want to be.
A leadership coach offers a truthful space, accountability for goals and a wide range of coaching tools and exercises to help you lead yourself well.
You are the instrument that will lead your way forward. Your learning and your changes belong to you.
Lead yourself well.
If everything is perfect right now - don't change a thing
If you want change, consider working with a leadership coach.
If you want meaningful work, with a life that works, consider working with a leadership coach.
If you want to lead yourself well, consider working with a leadership coach. After all, whatever actions you take or don't take, YOU are the instrument through which you act. EVERYTHING you do is impacted by that instrument. EVERYTHING.
Lead yourself well.
Our lived experience often dictates are ways of responding, reacting and showing up at work and in life.
Our behaviours are in response to our basic human needs of belonging, safety, worthiness and significance. We will organize our careers and relationships and social times in many ways to meet our most basic needs.
There is a time and place to double-click on the invisible to make it visible.
What behaviours are in direct response to something that was not present for you at one point in your life?
What is the worldview that you choose in response to something that was not present at one point in your life?
No shame. No blame. No judgement.
Only an invitation to notice and name what was not present - and a choice of how you would like to respond now, this time?
Lead yourself well.
