Episode 15: Can Executive Coaching Help You Figure Out What's Next?
A listener of the show wrote in and asked if executive leadership coaching makes sense if they're unsure where they want to take their career, so we're answering that question here in this episode. They are not alone in thinking about what the next steps are in their career. Like this listener, other women in nonprofit leadership roles are ready for something to change but may not be sure what change they want or may not feel confident about going after what they want. But yes, even if you're considering a transition, executive leadership coaching can be beneficial. Coaching includes asking powerful questions and leadership development activities that help leaders learn about themselves and gain essential tools for their current roles that will also be valuable for them as they transition to whatever is next.
In today's episode, we answer that question and talk more about the impact of professional development overall. Leaders can focus on their growth through executive leadership coaching because this process incorporates leadership development activities, topics, and confidence-building exercises. Gaining clarity and an understanding of their skills and talents can help women lead confidently and pursue other goals as well.
