Looking for a 1:1 coach to focus on your specific goals and challenges?
Schedule a consult. Let’s understand what’s going on with you. I’ll ask a lot of questions about what you want, what’s in the way, and what you’ve tried so far. I’ll offer my perspective on the problem and potential solutions. And we can talk about whether coaching together is right for you.
Being a new manager means having more responsibility and visibility — at the exact time you’re doing something you’ve never done before.
Insecurity may flare up in the form of self-doubt and second guessing yourself.
You might think you’re supposed to already know how to do this, and fear that people will find out you don’t.
And if you’re under-represented in your workplace or industry, then you’ll likely feel even more pressure to prove yourself. You might wonder if you need to conform to the management style you see around you, or if it’s ok to do things your own way.
Most organizations aren’t set up to offer new managers the support they need when they need it. It’s common practice to just let new managers figure it out on their own.
I believe there’s another way. That’s why I work with new managers who want to become more calm, confident, human-centered leaders.
When we work together you will:
- Feel more present, grounded, and capable. You will have a greater sense of agency, no matter what is going on.
- Be more clear and self-assured in your leadership style.
- Develop the mindset and skills that managers need to be successful, including: strategic thinking, effective communication, and decision making.
- Become more skillful at managing up, managing different personalities, and managing your time.
- Create a plan for feedback (giving, receiving, and requesting), and know how to speak up to advocate for yourself and your team when needed.
As a result, you will have more time and energy, better boundaries, and a better overall experience at work.
