Prior to participating in Katie's leadership coaching, I had challenges with work/life balance, communication conflict with team members, boundary setting, and building trust within the organization. Receiving training or building skill sets for those types of challenges isn't something that most companies make time for or budget for. I was used to receiving collections training, ERP systems training, and accounting related trainings. After being informed that i would need to participate in Katie's leadership coaching, i was skeptical at first. Getting through my challenges was something that i always thought i had to "deal" with throughout my career. I'll admit, I went into my coaching sessions a little guarded and closed off. I just did not know what to expect. After each session, there were always takeaways that rang true in my work experience and life experience. Slowly i started to implement some of the strategies and lessons i learned from my coaching sessions. I even started having the same type of coaching sessions with some of my own team members.
I still am engaging with Katie as my leadership coach and I am happy to report I've been able to claim back my work/life balance. I've been able to set boundaries, set agreements, and build effective communication and trust.
My advice for anyone looking to engage with Katie is to go in with an open mind! It will only work if you're honest, transparent, and fully present in the sessions. You need to be open to receive her feedback. She will hold you accountable and provide honest and effective feedback.
