Why I Am a Leadership Coach
“Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it’s also that difficult.” — Warren Bennis
My teacher, Peter Bregman, defines coaching as “a reliable process to help clients get massive traction on their most important work.” It is a relationship that can help the client transcend the limitations they have placed on themselves to develop their potential and to maximize their performance.
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to help people. As a young child, I wanted to be a priest because I wanted to share words of love and wisdom and to help people work through challenging issues. As I grew, I wanted to be a psychologist to help people understand their minds. I turned to Buddhism as a way to understand my own mind and as a practice of compassion dedicated to helping all people alleviate suffering in their lives. I became a musician to help people connect through shared emotional experiences. In my career as an engineer and product manager, I worked mostly on products that help improve people's lives. As a leader, I work directly with people to help them learn and grow. I began coaching as the next stage in my life’s work to be able to help others become stronger leaders and to help them integrate themselves into their work.
As a coach, I focus on helping people become and excel as leaders. I agree with Jerry Colonna who wrote, “I believe that better humans make better leaders. I further believe that the process of learning to lead well can help us become better humans.” I believe that we can all be leaders by stepping fully into our roles and influencing those around you towards your vision. Through coaching, I help people on this journey towards better leadership and being a better human.
I believe that being a better leader means being more present, more compassionate and having less ego. It is recognizing that you are part of a layered, open and dynamic system and that becoming aware of those systems will lead to greater growth.
I have completed Peter Bregman’s Leadership Coaching Training and I am certified to administer the Marshall Goldsmith Global Leadership Assessment.
I would love to work with you if:
- You are willing to challenge yourself, be vulnerable and step outside of your comfort zone to grow.
- You are committed to growing as a leader and as a person.
- You are ready to take action.
