What some coaching
clients have said about their sessions when asked
What was noteworthy for you?
Responses:
"I was
struggling with showing my employees how I appreciate them. I
am so excited to be using some of these rewards with them."
"I
was skeptical about coaching in the beginning. Now I am
modeling coaching at home with spouse. I feel more confidence now as a
manager and came to realize being a manager isn’t rocket science. I’m
not as far behind as I thought. I feel less fear. Conversations are
more efficient."
"I feel more confident, and I have
confirmation on how I am leading. I am headed down a path
that I chose. Every day I can learn and grow rather than
thinking I am here for earning a buck. I have confidence in
this career path."
"I’m more direct as a manager as
a result of coaching. Don’t beat around the bush anymore in difficult
situations. Have a plan now and follow up with negative and positive
feedback with employees. This new behavior in me will have a positive
influence on what people say about me and they will see me as more
decisive. My next goal is to address teaming well. It needs quite a bit
of work. Coaching has been pretty good. I was skeptical at first but
found it helpful."
