What is Leadership Coaching
Coaching in the Workplace: More Than Just a Buzzword
You might have heard it called executive coaching, professional support, mentoring, or even clinical supervision—but leadership coaching is something different. It’s not about performance reviews or ticking boxes. It’s about having a safe space to reflect, grow, and lead with confidence.
The coaching I offer isn’t about telling you what to do—it’s about helping you explore new ways to lead, tackle challenges, and develop your own leadership style.
Leadership Isn’t Just a Title—It’s a Skill
Too often, people step into leadership roles with little training or support. Managing people is very different from managing tasks, and without guidance, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—second-guessing decisions, micromanaging out of fear, or struggling to manage at all.
That’s where one-on-one coaching can be a game-changer. It doesn’t just improve performance—it unlocks skills, talents, and ideas you didn’t even know you had.
