As a leader, it is essential to understand that authenticity forms the bedrock of effective leadership. Being an authentic leader means embracing your true self, values, and beliefs, and aligning them with your actions and decisions. It requires self-awareness, vulnerability, and the willingness to foster genuine connections with your team.
In this signature coaching program, we unravel the essence of authentic leadership and equip leaders with the knowledge they need to embody this transformative approach. It includes on the job practice for experiential learning, as it is both the coaching of the inner being and experiential aspect that creates retained learning and growth. There are numerous leadership courses and workshops that produce intellectual knowledge. Leadership is so much more. It's about the heart, the spirit, and the emotional nature of the leader.
Most leaders start their journey with acquired skills such as marketing, finance or professional expertise. Few are aware of their motivating behaviors and needs, strengths, unique offerings to others, or how they make a difference in the world around them. We coach you to become aware of your inner identity and natural talents, mission, vision, purpose and values, which are critical to growth and authentic self-expression. By expanding your use of these inner resources and innate power, you develop a deep trusting relationship with yourself and make decisions based on your own truth. The deep, connected relationship with yourself creates a platform for leading authentically. Your authentic self-expression will create value and inspire others.
Authentic leaders recognize the power of trust. By building transparent and open relationships, they create a safe environment where team members feel valued and heard. They understand the importance of active listening, empathy, and understanding the diverse perspectives and experiences of their employees.
Furthermore, authentic leaders lead by example. They display integrity and consistency in their words and actions, earning the respect and admiration of their team. They demonstrate accountability, taking responsibility for their mistakes and learning from them. This authenticity inspires and motivates others to follow suit, fostering a culture of authenticity throughout the organization.
Authentic leaders also prioritize the growth and development of their team members. They recognize and leverage individual strengths, empowering their employees to reach their full potential. They provide opportunities for learning and growth, encourage creativity and innovation, and foster a culture that embraces continuous improvement.
In a world craving genuine leadership, it is crucial for leaders to understand that authenticity is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It is about finding your unique leadership style, embracing your strengths, and staying true to yourself while adapting to the needs of your team and organization.

Testimonial
"Joan worked as a coach-consultant to me and my team of four Vice Presidents for a year, meeting with us monthly. We worked in areas like strengths, building trust among ourselves and with our followers, and recognizing and employing a broader range of situation-appropriate leadership styles. Joan is an excellent coach! Even among a group of "seasoned" senior leaders, she engendered a remarkable amount of growth and development. Joan is a pleasure to work with. I sincerely recommend her."
