Coaching + Advisory

Every time the big boss pulls the team together it's an opportunity to shine - but she's not looking for technical subject matter expertise in this meeting. She needs strategy, leadership and results - and you don't have an A-game to bring in those areas.

If this project goes down, you might go with it.  But what can you do?  You have no authority to take the helm while they search for a new PM.  The best you can hope for is to leverage relationships and demonstrate leadership ability - but neither your relationships nor your leadership skills are what they need to be to even make a dent...

You respect and appreciate what that business unit is trying to achieve, and what they're challenged by.  But every time you meet with that particular executive you feel that nothing you say matters, or even gets through. You communicate well enough with your own boss, but what works there doesn't seem to work here.  How are you supposed to know what to do differently?

That you look forward to the all-hands meeting as your opportunity to demonstrate your value to the team and the organization...

That the enterprise project you're on continues to make forward progress due in no small part to how adept you are at leading unofficially through influence, despite not having overt authority...

That your last-minute meeting is now your chance to demonstrate your ability to understand, and empathize, with the challenges facing the executive who leads a critical business function...

You've built trusted relationships with peers and leaders who now consult with YOU when they need fresh ideas...  

You learn to have greater confidence in your abilities while remaining humble, approachable and solutions-focused... a highly valued combination in a technology professional... 

You develop the ability to listen closely to what people are saying so you can be sure what you're communicating speaks directly to their needs and expectations... 

Yes, this can be you! With the guidance and support of a skilled coach - who is also a former technology executive - you can identify the skills you need most, and successfully develop them just like you've done with your technical skills...
