I would suggest to anyone to get an executive coach.

The good ones act as an external mirror and force you to dig and do the work you suggest.

For me, it was tremendously valuable and a real awareness and growth accelerator.

Ad-hoc. Might be once/ week for three weeks and nothing for four months.

If everything is going well, I’d argue that it’s the best time to start thinking of bigger challenges and the next level, whatever that means to you - which is hard to do when the boat is wreaking.

Should you decide to pull the trigger on this, send me a private message because I have an amazing coach up my sleeve that might be of interest!

I am considering it, to be honest. It is low priority to me right now, though, as everything works at work. Substack is more like a hobby. I am having fun figuring it out by myself.

How often do you have sessions with your coach?

The Belbin story really landed. In my experience, the most dangerous leaders aren't the ones who lack self-awareness. Instead, they're the ones who have just enough to feel confident they've figured themselves out.

I think I know the type you are talking about. I met some people with senior this and senior that in the title. Very confident but misdirected.
