This is What Happens When You Commit to Leadership growth

An incredible client, a longtime VP, was 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!

She hired me a few years ago after seeing my email about having a wishbone where your backbone should be."That's me," she said. "I'm wishing and waiting instead of speaking up and leading."

We went to work 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞, driving results through hard work and execution (where so many of us get stuck), and 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.

She started having her own back, being more visible at all levels, asserting herself and sharing her crystal clear point of view, while staying empathetic and open to input.

So when the CEO role opened up, she confidently shared her perspective on what needed to change for improved culture and performance, intending to inform the board on what they should be looking for in their executive search.

And they said to her, "Why don't you apply?"

YES! 🙌 💃 🚀

Talk about elevating your impact and accelerating your career!

She said I've been "in her ear" through the whole process.

But you know what? That's not me. It's all her.

She's become the leader she set out to be and I have no doubt she will continue to grow, evolve and develop more empathetic, influential and impactful leaders.
