As I was undergoing a transition to a new, higher role, having a coach to guide me through difficult scenarios was invaluable. My personal needs went from “immediate improvement needed” to “expanding strategic skills”, so my relationship with coaching changed throughout the engagement. That said, it’s been great to have someone who I can trust to help me with key decisions. In my 6 month coaching engagement with Melissa, I noticed having much more clarity in terms of outlining next steps and prioritizing team effort.
Coaching helped me think through and develop tangible plans and actionable steps to take in response to vague feedback from team members and ambiguity in expectations from leadership. Oftentimes, senior leaders would provide unclear feedback with no specific actionable items. Melissa helped me identify ways to navigate difficult conversations with leadership in order to be able to understand and apply feedback that was often indirect and negative.
Coaching with Melissa has done wonders for me, I have more confidence, it helped me refine my priorities, determine what matters, and I now have a clear vision that I’m pursuing. It’s been one of the most productive and personally fulfilling leadership development experiences.
