I don’t have to prove anything. I am the alpha male.

Many of the world-class male leaders I have coached would describe themselves as ‘alpha males’ - they are outwardly self-confident, outgoing, successful, natural leaders who love calling the shots.

While this article specifically focuses on these ‘alpha male’ characteristics, I know as a female that I still relate to many of them, so I hope that everyone, regardless of gender, finds value in this article.

How many of the following alpha male leadership characteristics can you relate to?

• You love being at the helm of an organization
• You’re a natural-born leader
• You seek responsibility
• You feel calmer making the tough calls than having someone else make decisions for you
• You thrive under stress and pressure.

These are all terrific character traits that have led to your success today. However, are you also aware of the blind spots that can limit your ongoing achievements?

Do any of these challenges show up in your working style?

• You get frustrated by others who can’t keep up with you and deliver to your incredibly high levels of performance.
• Your drive for speed and action means you struggle to listen to others who don’t speak your language, which poses risks to your organization.
• Spotting holes in plans and ideas come so naturally to you that it’s easy to write off people who don’t immediately present a concrete argument.
• You’re not a fan of seeing others displaying emotions in the office, but you sometimes find it hard to contain your frustration and anger at others who fail to meet your expectations.

World-Class Leaders Evolve Their Style To Optimize Success

The traits that got you to where you are today can create a ceiling to your growth.

Increasingly, organizations and employees are looking to their leaders for inspiration. They want to see someone who is human and comfortable sharing their vulnerability, especially as we come through the pandemic.

It can be tough to recognize you need help or to ask for it. I get it; you lead others 24/7 and have all the answers, so bringing others into your inner world doesn’t initially feel comfortable.?

You have everyone else’s back, but isn’t it time that someone had yours?

The world-class leaders that I coach recognized that the one secret weapon they were missing was a confidante. They lacked someone outside of their friends, family, and colleagues, who they could trust implicitly and share an unfiltered insight into the high-stakes decisions resting on their shoulders - both from a work and a personal context.?

My clients value me for being a confidential, non-judgmental, second pair of eyes into their life, and that my only objective is to get results for them.

How to Work With Me

I specialize in working deeply with world-class leaders like you for 12 months of personalized, “Custom-to-You” Executive Coaching Program. You will receive unlimited access to me in a confidential, supportive and empathetic environment whenever you have something on your mind that you cannot share with others, or you would value an objective and non-judgmental opinion.

I understand that sometimes, you’ll have a significant, one-off challenge to work through that requires a more short-term and intense level of support. As a top leader, you need to reach clarity and a solution fast - for example, with a new career opportunity, a pivot in your industry, an M&A, a personal issue, preparing for a significant Board discussion, restructuring, or a communication crisis.

In those moments, you’ll feel the benefits of “The Executive Retreat”, my VIP coaching offer. We’ll spend two half days working together to fast-track your solution and remove the heaviness from your shoulders. You’ll return to the office, and your home, with clarity and purpose, able to breathe freely again.
