“Coaching for Leadership”
When Marie became director of a national financial services and management organization she reached the same hurdle that most managers either leap or trip over as their careers progress. A successful consultant with five years behind her, she was promoted to a new job that required an entirely different set of skills.
Like many, Marie relied on trial and error as she found her feet as a leader. Then, one year into her new position, she began coaching with Valerie to discover how to approach her role with purpose and a plan. Her purpose was to develop a management style that suited her, but ultimately, the plan changed the very structure of the organization around her – and her team fell into step beside her.
