Invest in Yourself

Recently, I had an enlightening dinner conversation with a lifelong friend. She shared that despite her impressive career achievements, she has never had a mentor or coach. However, she feels she has reached her limit on her own. This sparked her interest in what coaching is and how it could benefit her.

Great questions! The truth is executive coaching is still a bit of a mystery to a lot of people, so allow me to shed some light on it for you.

Why Coaching Matters

From the C-suite to emerging leaders to those at a career crossroads, individuals across all industries engage in coaching to improve their leadership skills, navigate challenges, develop a roadmap for moving forward, and foster continuous growth.

Executive coaching is all about equipping you with the tools, mindset, and action plan to take your career to the next level regardless of your current title or position. Anyone can benefit from coaching! I have collaborated with entrepreneurs, executives, on-air talent, producers and individuals in the medical field, ranging from nurses to dentists.

The key is to be open to growth and willing to put in the work. A good coach (like me) will challenge your assumptions, help you identify blind spots, and push you out of your comfort zone. I'll also provide accountability, which is crucial for making real progress. For some, it's easy to set goals, but following through is where many people struggle. With a coach, you have someone in your corner, keeping you on track and motivated. Only 8% of individuals who set new goals for the new year actually achieve them.

Investing in yourself is never a waste. I am evidence of this. As a leader I partnered with a coach, during my career transition I worked with a different coach who helped me gain clarity and direction, now as an entrepreneur, I have the support of a business coach.

The skills and insights you gain through coaching can pay off throughout your entire professional journey. Additionally, working with a coach can help you:

• Boost your self-esteem, self-confidence, and resilience
• Set boundaries and enforce them
• Overcome Imposter Syndrome or any limiting beliefs holding you back

Take the Next Step

If you're feeling like my friend—capable yet unsure about how to progress further—consider hiring a coach. It could be one of the best decisions you'll ever make for your career!
