What kind of leader do you want to be?

At the heart of "The Great Resignation" employees across the country are realizing they have agency in their careers.

They’re saying…

I will no longer tolerate this toxic culture.

I want to learn something new.

I want to be inspired by my leadership team.

One response to this agency, for some, has been to go out and find that next role that is truly on their terms.

And yet there also is another option.

When I polled my LinkedIn audience about what type of professional development they were seeking from their companies, far and away, the most popular response was 1:1 Coaching.

Coaching is not only a tool to figure out your next step. It’s also incredibly powerful in helping you understand the leader you are now and the one you want to be.

It’s a way to help you work through the impostor syndrome before the big presentation.

Garner the courage to have the tough conversation with your team.

Take on the bigger role after you’ve been tapped on the shoulder.

If the leadership at your organization is working hard to keep you - especially if your colleagues are leaving the organization - leverage this moment to claim your agency and ask for the support you want.

And if you’re a leader looking to retain employees on your team, give them the support that will help them feel seen and appreciated - even if it means looking outside of your organization for support.

This could look like group facilitated training or seminars, mentorship, team-focused professional development, drop in coaching sessions with an accredited coach (like me!) or good, old fashioned one-on-one individualized coaching.
