Leadership Coaching – like therapy for business leaders

Are you a business leader who is feeling the weight of challenging economic times? Client’s I work with are telling me they are:

• Burnt out. Experiencing general exhaustion and lack of motivation for work
• Stressed & not sleeping due to worry about a downturn in business
• Fearful of uncertainty about what’s to come

If any of these hit a bit close to home, here’s some of the things I work through with clients to keep their motivation up.

1. Making time for activities outside work that replenish personal energy; being consistent with it and committed to it. Do something physical, get some sunshine, swim in the ocean.
2. Keeping mindset strong. Speak to a mentor, book in coaching sessions, listen to some mindset podcasts etc. We can get stuck in our negative thoughts and need someone else’s perspective to help us out of it.
3. If business is quiet, this is NOT the time to do nothing out of fear. Choose expansion rather than retraction. This is the time you get your house in order – put the policies and procedures you’ve been talking about for years done, work on business improvements, deal with the employee performance issue you’ve been avoiding, improve your online presence etc
4. Do some personal or career development – learn a new skill, take a course, meditate, read a few self-help books
5. Be more intentional about where you spend both your time and money. Consider your options and choose the things that will bring you closer to where you want to be.

The graphic above explains how I support businesses. In particular, my leadership coaching sessions cover all of this and more. It’s like therapy for business leaders! If you want to know more about how coaching could help you, reach out via messenger or my website.

To your continued success!
