I’m often asked, “How does communications coaching work?” It’s a great question, and the answer can vary depending on the coach. For me, it’s not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions—it’s a journey of self-discovery, growth, and tangible results.
My Approach: A Process, Not a Quick Fix
As a communications coach, I focus on helping you deepen your self-awareness, gain new perspectives, and refine how you show up in leadership and interactions. It’s a process, not a one-step solution. It’s about exploring your unique challenges, uncovering what’s holding you back, and creating strategies to help you achieve your goals.
A Story to Illustrate the Journey
One of my clients came to me wanting to communicate better with his team to engage and motivate them. There’s a load of tips and techniques out there about ‘motivating and engaging people’ but he didn’t want a load of tips thrown at him without knowing how to actually apply them to his team—he needed a strategy tailored to his unique situation.
Instead of offering generic solutions, I asked him a series of questions to help him reflect on his challenges and goals. As he spoke, I listened, reflected back, and challenged him to consider new perspectives and take action where he felt stuck.
As we worked together, he realized that empowering his team by giving them more responsibility and ownership could be a game-changer. However, he still had valid concerns about how to implement this effectively. I asked him further questions to help explore his concerns, we further refined his approach, and developed a communication plan that felt right for him and his team.
By the end of our session, he had a clear plan – and a shift in mindset. He recognized that ultimately his own mindset had been his biggest barrier to effective leadership and communication. This meant he left the coaching with a clear plan of how to engage and motivate his team, and maybe more importantly, a new awareness about how his own mindset was impacting his overall leadership.
