Coaching for Managers

It’s tough being in the middle. You have people above you sharing their vision and expectations and you have people who work on your team who need you to be a strong leader with a vision of your own. On some days you may feel that you are between a rock and a hard place.

Who can you talk to who will understand the balance between being a leader and a follower?
How do you handle the promotion to management when the people you used to work beside now report to you?
How do you handle the stress of other competitive managers who are all trying to climb the corporate ladder ahead of you?
Do you dread job evaluations because you don't know how to give bad news without becoming the enemy?
Do you cringe when staff members have conflicts and you have to try to resolve the issues?
What do you do when team members do not follow through on given tasks? How can you hold them accountable without becoming a screaming tyrant?
Who do you talk to when the crisis situations become overwhelming and you can never seem to get any of your own work done?

As a management coach, I understand these situations. I listen fully, work to understand your unique, yet common feelings with compassion, and encourage you as a leader and powerful force within your organization to rise to the challenge of doing you job with pride and respect.

According to a recent Gallup Poll, managers are now being evaluated on their own coaching skills. If you've never even heard of coaching outside of athletics then you will be left behind. The benefit of having your own coach is in learning how to have someone pull the information from inside, to bring the leader out from within, and give you the confidence you need to move forward. Then you can easily translate those skills in working with your own staff to bring out the very best in them.

What can you expect from GloriaCoach.com within a coaching relationship?

	I establish a written contract up front so that you can be confident in the confidentiality of all discussions. An effective coaching relationship is built on trust and integrity, and I will honor you and the work will do together within that standard. This contract will also detail the logistics of the relationship (sessions, fees, other involved if appropriate, etc.)
	I will listen fully to what you are saying as well as to what you are not saying. I will use my intuition and my strengths to hear beyond the surface level and will work to understand what is truly at the heart of the matter.
	I will ask questions that are designed for self-discovery, greater insight into your own knowledge, and questions that will support you in moving forward towards your vision and goals.
	I will communicate directly and respectfully. I will tell you the truth as I see it, offer new perspectives, and reframe thoughts and ideas back to you so that you can easily communicate them back to others as necessary.
	We will create new awareness around areas of strengths and areas for increased learning and growth. I will challenge your beliefs and attitudes that are getting in the way of you becoming the leader you most desire to be.
	We will co-create plans of action that can be easily integrated into your life and career. Every accomplishment, point of learning, and step towards future goals will be celebrated and built upon. Measurable and tangible goals will be set with your bigger vision in mind.
	We will manage progress and design systems of accountability for the action steps you have designed. I will honor your right to make decisions while challenging you to follow through, grow, and expand into new areas of thinking and living.
