Executive Coaching - Guiding High Impact Leaders to Drive Business Results and Empower Their Teams
Dominant and driven leaders – I know this territory well.
Confession time: I've been in those shoes, barreling forward with a contagious enthusiasm and a relentless focus on results.

But after years of working with strong-willed leaders, the truth becomes clear: dominance isn't the only path to high impact.
My notes from countless coaching sessions reveal consistent patterns.
These are the most frequent roadblocks dominant leaders encounter.
They can unintentionally hold you and your team back:

The Power of Self-Awareness and Pause
So, dominant leader, are you starting to recognize yourself in these tendencies?
The good news is, these aren't limitations – they're growth opportunities. The key to high-impact leadership lies in self-awareness.
Self-awareness isn't about becoming passive or shrinking your personality.
It's about creating a pause in the heat of the moment.
It's about recognizing your triggers—that surge of competitiveness, the urge to micromanage, and the defensive reaction.
In that pause, you have a powerful choice: react with the old patterns or consciously choose a new approach.

This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about harnessing your natural strengths—your drive, passion, and decisiveness—and channeling them to inspire and empower your team.
It's about understanding how your actions and behaviors impact those around you.
Self-awareness is the bridge between dominance and high impact.
So, take a deep breath, strong-willed leader, and take a self-awareness inventory.
Consider the situations you encounter most often. How do you typically show up? What impact does it have?
Pause and choose a different response.
By understanding your triggers and consciously choosing your responses, you can become a leader who truly elevates everyone around you.
