What Career Growth Through Coaching Really Looks Like

Leadership isn’t a straight path—and career growth doesn’t come from doing more of the same.

I was recently featured in a Coachingly article that explores how leadership coaching can support career advancement. It outlines several powerful benefits, including improving communication, building confidence, and developing strategic vision.

While I appreciate about the article's on the external side of advancement—skills, clarity, decision-making—here’s what I’ve learned through experience:

Many leaders aren’t stuck because they lack skills—they’re stuck because they’re overusing the very strengths that got them to where they are.

• The strategic mind that helped you climb the ladder? It can make you overthink and micromanage.

• The drive that pushed you to succeed? It can alienate your team when it turns into over-demanding behavior.

• The attention to detail that made you excellent? It can lead to paralysis or breakdowns in trust.

Leadership coaching works because it helps you see these patterns—and evolve them. It’s about unlocking the next great version of yourself by looking inward, not just upward.

If any of that resonates, the article is a great starting point. But the real work happens in conversation—so if you're curious about what coaching might look like for you, I’d love to connect.
