My coaching experience was very rewarding and unexpectedly so. l was hugely surprised at
the outcome – though not sure l had really thought through the outcome myself.
The sessions highlighted my strengths, blind spots and the gaps/areas that l needed to work on.
From the onset Coach FAA would tell me ‘we will focus on your 80% and the 20% will naturally improve’. Through the
process I have learned how to better manage my emotions, communicate clearly with my team, reflect on my leadership skills and articulate the type of leader l aspire to be.
#CoachFAA was incredibly patient and understanding, a wonderful listener who gave me the necessary support and guidance on how to improve my performance. She also created a safe yet challenging environment for openness
and growth.
The increased confidence, positive feedback from senior management regarding being on the right track for more stretch projects and generally a more positive perception within the system also translated to a promotion.
Today, I believe in myself more, l am confident and assertive in meetings plus my interactions in the C-suite is less doubtful and more assured. I truly believe that the professional future l aspire to is more within my reach.
Thank you, FAA, for your wisdom, knowledge, patience and insights.
