I had a listener of the show write in and ask if executive leadership coaching makes sense if they're unsure where they want to take their career, so I am answering that question here in this episode. I know they are not alone in thinking about what the next steps are in their career. Like this listener, other women in nonprofit leadership roles are ready for something to change but may not be sure what change they want or may not feel confident about going after what they want. Leadership development activities help leaders gain tools that are important in their current roles but also will be valuable for them as they transition to whatever is next.
In today's episode, I talk more about the impact of professional development overall. One way leaders can focus on their growth is through executive leadership coaching: this process incorporates leadership development activities, topics, and confidence-building exercises. Gaining clarity and an understanding of their skills and talents can help women lead confidently and pursue other goals as well.
Whatever stage of your career you are in, professional development can have a significant positive impact. But coaching may not work for everyone and every situation. In this episode, I also share insight into when coaching is not the right fit for a leader's needs.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
- A broader understanding of professional development and its impact
- How the process helps you get clear on your talents and skills and can take you to the next level
- Ways to get the most out of the process
- When coaching is not appropriate and what it can't address
