A young professional stepping into her first leadership role in a tech-driven organization sought to cultivate an authentic leadership style that reflected her personal values.
As she transitioned from a specialist to a leader, she also wanted to establish a healthy balance between her professional and personal life, ensuring she could bring her whole self to work.
Through a personalized coaching program of three sessions, we explored her unique leadership qualities and core values, focusing on how she could bring her whole self to work.
The program began with defining her leadership identity —what makes her authentic and how her personal values translate into workplace behaviors.
In subsequent sessions, we addressed the shift from creating results individually to empowering her team to succeed collectively. Using tools like Daniel Ofman’s Core Quadrant and visual techniques, she identified her strengths, pitfalls, and areas for growth. Discussions on time management, constructive feedback techniques, and proactive use of role models equipped her with strategies for fostering balance and confidence in her leadership journey.
Maria, I just wanted to share how much our last session changed my perspective on my role. It made me more aware of my value and gave me the confidence and energy to approach my responsibilities with positivity and enthusiasm. It is a wonderful feeling.
