I found this coaching super valuable. I’ve gained so much confidence and developed skills that I’ll utilize and take into the future as a new people leader. Being able to talk it out with somebody outside of work just makes it so much clearer. It was helpful when Jenn sometimes took off her coaching hat, making it more personal and reminding me that certain things were okay.
If you’re thinking about coaching, I recommend it! You need to be open-minded and push yourself to actually talk through things. Putting yourself out there is a bit vulnerable, but I feel like that provided the most benefit. I’m very thankful to my company for setting this up and for Jenn’s support these past few months.
