Leadership Growth – Are You Coachable?

Let's Grow Leaders

Leadership growth requires feedback and continual learning. It’s no exaggeration to say that if you’re done learning, you’re done leading. The world changes. People grow. And your influence will grow too if you invest in your leadership growth. But that growth is a choice – and one that not every leader will make.

On The Job

It happens all the time: A great employee receives a promotion and then, for some reason, begins to falter months or years into the new job.

Eat Your Career

Power & Inclusion

ReNew Business

Healing from Shame to Grow in Your Career

Rachel B. Garrett

We discussed mindset shifting tools in my group coaching program this week. I like to dive into this topic early in the process because it’s often mental blocks that are keeping us stuck, rather than more tactical things like resumes and interview skills. One of my favorites in this set of tools is forgiveness. Identifying areas where you may be holding shame and offering up acknowledgment and compassion and forgiveness.
