The Top 5 Reasons to Work with a Leadership Coach or Why I Do What I Do
1. When we give more to ourselves, we can ask more of ourselves.
Coaching is essential to leadership development-it is not just a “nice-to-have”.
Coaching is essential to leadership development-it’s not just a “nice-to-have”. While it might feel self-indulgent, coaching is a critical investment in your team, organization, and greater mission. When you are well — whole, supported, and present — you can lead more effectively and be a servant leader to those who rely on you. Being coached was pivotal to my own leadership journey, and I am committed to paying it forward.
2. The inner game runs the outer game.
Everything starts with a thought — sometimes an unconscious one.
Everything begins with a thought, whether conscious or unconscious. What you think impacts how you feel, act, and ultimately, the results you achieve. Coaching helps uncover and challenge self-limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns, allowing you to regulate your emotions and reactions. Coaching helps you step back and see your perspectives and choices as objects to be examined, rather than being controlled or driven by them. This powerful shift puts you in a position of choice and is a game changer.
3. Leaders who are their best (self), can do their best (work).
Transformation starts with self-awareness — you cannot change what you cannot see.
Change starts with self-awareness — because you can’t change what you can’t see. Leaders often face feelings of isolation, imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Their unregulated negative emotions can be contagious and ripple through their entire team. A coach listens deeply, with complete attention and intuition, offering you the gift of being fully heard and understood. This creates space for greater clarity, confidence, and capacity.
4. Leaders make impact through their behavior.
Insight without implementation is worthless — an accountability partner can give you an edge.
Accountability is the edge leaders need to turn insights into action. Breaking old habits and building intentional new practices takes sustained effort and support. A coach is your partner in maintaining these practices, offering ongoing support and helping you strengthen behaviors that align with your goals. With a coach cheering you on, you can stay motivated, maintain momentum and achieve lasting change.
5. Leaders create their world by living it.
Human development and capacity building never ends — vertical development takes a lifetime.
Leaders often feel that there is limited time to create the life they want and the impact they aspire to achieve. Along the way, they often face ambiguous loss, complexity, and uncontrollable circumstances. Coaching provides the tools to shift perspective — stepping from the dance floor to the balcony — and to become curious about one’s meaning-making while embracing the impermanence and complexity of the world. Reflective leaders who commit to this inner work discover deeper fulfillment — not by chasing outward success, but by cultivating intention, contentment, and authentic joy.
Coaching is grounded in mutual respect, trust and freedom of expression.
