Be Your Own Leadership Coach: Self-Coaching Strategies to Lead Your Way

Leadership is challenging. There are many complex problems to work through, decisions to be made and priorities to juggle. And, by the time you are in a leadership role, there seems to be an expectation that you should know exactly what to do and how to do it. It’s not that simple. Often leaders are overwhelmed and confused by their responsibilities and are still discovering how to lead in a way that positively impacts others. This is where having an experienced leadership coach comes in - someone who can help and support you as you evolve as a leader and become more self-aware of your behaviours, and can work with you through the many expected and unexpected challenges of leadership. The great news is that, by using the strategies in this book, that coach can be you.

Based on evidence-based positive psychology, lived leadership experience and over 2000 hours of one-on-one coaching, Be Your Own Leadership Coach is a one-stop shop for leaders to drive their own professional development - anytime, anywhere.
