Personal Leadership & Career Growth

Coaching a rising leader to shape a more fulfilling professional and personal vision and turn it into real change.

"Coaching has provided me with the insight, clarity, and perspective to better myself in many areas that are important to my success. I have made significant progress in my professional and social life as a result of what I have learned from the process.” Sam, 25-Year-Old Project Engineer

Supporting an emerging leader looking to spark a change in his career, relationships and life beyond work.
The Challenge

Sam reached out for Personal Leadership Coaching to help him make changes in 3 main areas:

  • Evaluating whether to stay in his current role, and if so, how to keep developing professionally.
  • Interacting more positively and naturally with teammates instead of being ‘guarded and negative.’
  • Rebalancing his life to invest in people and hobbies outside of work, instead of being constantly on the clock.

What We Did

Sam and his coach held 2 remote coaching sessions each month over 10 months. They co-designed activities for him to apply in real life and had accountability check-ins to fuel progress.

Core aspects of his coaching included:

  • Visioning his desired future + legacy.
  • Connecting with personal values and priorities to make intentional decisions.
  • Managing the ‘inner critic’ and building self-compassion.
  • Strategising to better apply his strengths at work.
  • Creating trust with colleagues and friends.

 
The Impact

  Sam chose to stay and grow within the company and proactively seek skill-building and mentorship opportunities.

  Four months after completing coaching, Sam was named employee of the month out of the 100+ person organization.

  He was given a bonus and raise for his marked progress.

  "When my bosses explained their reasoning for doing this (besides all the normal talking points, such as my hard work, willingness to go above and beyond, and dedication to the company), they explained that they were most impressed by my "night and day improvement" with regards to my upbeat attitude, how I interact with my coworkers, approachability, and how I display an air of positivity that I didn't have a year ago. The CEO said that he was impressed with my progress over the past year and couldn’t wait to see where I end up in a year from now. I share this with you now because you had a big part in helping me get myself to this point, and with any luck will continue to help me as I keep climbing that career ladder."
