“Participating in leadership coaching with a leadership coach has been a transformative experience for me, particularly in developing my emotional intelligence in the workplace. Through bi-weekly discussions, they provided a supportive environment that allowed me to recognize areas where I needed growth such as delegating tasks with confidence, establishing clear goals for myself and team members, and empathetically approaching conversations. By addressing these areas, I’ve gained invaluable skills that have made me a more confident and well-rounded contributor, better equipped to handle the challenges of both personal and professional life. Leadership coaching has truly been a catalyst for my growth as a leader.”
