I thought coaching is a guy in a hat with a whistle yelling at players: “Get back in there. Keep your head up and stop crying.” But that’s not what leadership coaching is about. It’s a mechanism to get insight, self-reflect, practice different things, and become a better leader.
I’ve been transformed, like a butterfly. Before I was like a caterpillar in my little cocoon. Safe, small, protected, hiding out. I had never heard about imposter syndrome before, but understanding it put a name on something I had been struggling with. Coaching lead me out of that place to becoming a butterfly, spreading my wings, and taking flight.
For example, I was just in a meeting with the most senior leaders of my company. Before I would have just tried to blend in, not be noticed, hoping no one would pay attention to me even though the workstream I head - information security – touches just about every aspect of our organization. This time I got proactively involved. By the end of the meeting, everyone was asking for my input. People were paying attention to my contributions. I finally had the confidence to just let my value show, rather than try to prove or hide anything.
I can also dare to say things now, and even if they don’t come out quite right, or land quite the way I want to, instead of panicking and making it worse, I don’t get thrown off track. I just get back up. I learn from it. My confidence increases rather than decreases.
My staff have noticed the difference in me. “You’re doing good,” they tell me – which they never had before. They’re more confident in me as a leader.
