Empowering women leaders: How coaching transformed Sarah’s journey

Curious about the impact of coaching on empowering women leaders?

I partnered with Sarah on her leadership journey. Sharing some snippets of how coaching helped her to step into her leadership power

💼 Owning her journey: Sarah possessed a keen sense of ambition and drive. Together, we crafted a strategic roadmap and development plan for her career, setting clear objectives and milestones to guide her progress. Through introspection and structured planning, Sarah took ownership of her career trajectory, ensuring she remained proactive and purposeful in her pursuits.

💪Confidence: This is an area where Sarah sought to grow. Through targeted coaching exercises and personalised feedback, she honed her ability to project confidence and authority. With each coaching session, she embraced her strengths and learned to assert herself, gaining  the respect of her peers and superiors.
Practical tips, such as practicing power posing before important meetings and setting a goal to speak up at least once in every meeting, ensured her voice was heard and contributions recognised.

🌿Resilience and self care: As her coach, I provided a steady source of support and guidance, helping her navigate through setbacks and obstacles. Sarah grew her support network of mentors, peers, and allies and during tough times, leaned in for advice and encouragement.
She committed to disconnecting from work email and notifications during her personal time, prioritising her well-being amidst her demanding schedules.
Daily journaling and mindfulness strengthened her resilience while establishing boundaries and healthy habits, allowed her to balance professional ambitions with self-care.

🤝Networks: We collaborated closely to broaden her sphere of influence within the industry, leveraging strategic initiatives and targeted outreach. Setting a goal to connect with one new contact weekly enabled her to cultivate relationships with industry peers and thought leaders, continually expanding her professional horizons and opened doors to opportunities for growth and collaboration.

🙅‍♀️Challenging stereotypes: Through our coaching partnership, she learned to confront these stereotypes and biases head-on, embracing her unique identity and strengths with confidence and resilience. Together, we crafted empowering narratives that celebrated her capabilities and challenged conventional norms, paving the way for her to redefine success according to her own values and goals.

🌟As we progressed through our coaching, Sarah took on expanded responsibilities, made a lateral move into a more challenging role and was successful in gaining a promotion.
