BE YOUR OWN LEADERSHIP COACH
SELF-COACHING STRATEGIES TO LEAD YOUR WAY
Leadership can be challenging. There are complex problems to work through, decisions to make and priorities to juggle. Yet by the time you reach a leadership role, there is often an expectation that you should already know what to do and how to do it.
Yet leadership doesn’t come with an instruction manual.
Be Your Own Leadership Coach helps you become your own leadership coach, giving you practical strategies to draw upon as you navigate the expected and unexpected challenges of leadership.
Your leadership coach might be closer than you think
What if you could have a leadership coach available whenever you needed one?
Someone who knows you well, can help you reflect on what is happening and can prompt you to consider what you might do differently.
That coach is you.
Throughout the book, we fill your virtual backpack with practical self-coaching strategies that you can carry with you and draw upon when you need them.
What will you find in your virtual backpack?
Practical strategies to help you:
• build greater self-awareness
• set meaningful goals and strengthen motivation
• manage your time and energy
• communicate and listen more consciously
• empower and delegate to others
• lead with kindness
• recognise what is helping you and what may be getting in your way.
Reflection questions and practical exercises throughout the book help you apply these strategies to your own leadership, rather than simply read about them.
Evidence-based. Practical. Built for leaders.
The strategies in Be Your Own Leadership Coach draw on evidence-based positive psychology, more than 2,500 hours of one-to-one executive coaching and my own 30+ years of leadership experience.
My aim is not to tell you how you should lead. It is to give you the strategies to reflect, learn and make more conscious choices about how you want to lead.
Sometimes the leadership coach you need most is the one you carry with you.
