Serving as a leader is similar to learning how to balance on a paddleboard. Starting on the shore, you learn where to stand on the board, how the paddles work, and the impact of your weight and subtle movements before taking the board to the water. Once in the water, you begin on your knees to get a feel for the board. Gradually, you stand up on the board, breaking through the initial discomfort or fear of falling and failing. You will fall off, you will make wrong turns, all while also seeing a lot of beauty and getting a lot of things right. As leaders, we often expect to stand on the board right away, accelerating past important fundamentals that would help us be more effective. In the rapid pursuit of making an impact, leaders often hear in 360 feedback they are not being effective in their communications, lack delegation and self-awareness skills, and are experiencing conflict. If you are a leader who keeps trying the same thing with ineffective results, my coaching programs are designed to identify your strengths, skill gaps, and desired outcomes to help you build confidence in yourself as a leader and enhance your effectiveness within your organizations.
