    About this ebook

    In life, we have the opportunity thrust upon us to make changes, and to take personal leadership in dealing with those changes. A death, a major illness, or a major economic upheaval can force us to take stock of our lives at that point, and make sometimes-radical changes. To take leadership in our own lives and the lives of those we love, lead or work with on a daily basis.

    As competition becomes more global in our changing economy, we find businesses and professional associations being stretched and tested. Staffing has become more challenging, and so has training and marketing.

    Customers are becoming more demanding and specific in what they want. Change is pushed on us everywhere we turn. We can avoid change, can’t we? That’s what too many business leaders think and miss their full potential.

    Isn’t it better to seize the opportunities to change and grow? Isn’t it better to be a leader who is open to learn, stretch, and to push yourself and your team past your own comfort zones? Isn’t it better to lead than follow in the dust?

    This change is a creative leadership choice! Life is a series of changes and choices, why not take personal leadership and control their direction and pace? Why not decide to be a leader, not a follower!

    People experience problems and challenges in their performance for four major reasons:

    •Poor or inadequate training for the job
    •Inadequate equipment to do the job
    •Time constraints to do the job
    •Motivation to do the job

    Leadership coaching in it’s essence, will help discover the area(s) which are acting as roadblocks for the person being coached. Leadership coaching can help turn roadblocks into stepping-stones for increased success, productivity, and a real sense of satisfaction on the job. Leadership coaching can bring a sense of satisfaction to the coach too -- in bringing out the best, and in seeing your people win!

    It takes courage to lead, but it is so worth it to see your own growth and the growth and success of those you lead. Check out some of these idea-rich team empowerment strategies. Go for it!

      Getting started…

      Welcome to the journey of an evolving career and management focus on personal leadership and engaged coaching. Change in global perspective has placed a new focus and pressure on finding and applying more productive uses of our assets, and updating our employees’ skills to compete successfully. Taking personal leadership in your own career growth and success is worth the investment. This is where you apply ‘leverage’ to dynamically succeed! Having the courage to lead is the starting point to upward mobility and success. Acting on it is next!

      There is an increased acceptance to using personal leadership and engaged coaching in the workplace. In the past, coaching has been regulated or known only as a remedial method of helping employees improve ‘sagging’ or deficient performance. It still has a valid use in this area. In recent history, workplace coaching has a new focus. Employees, managers and executives have been experiencing positive results from enlisting the help of a leadership coach to help them improve in specific areas or to achieve specific goals. People have been going ‘outside’ the corporate arena and enlisting or recruiting personal or leadership coaches. They want to change, to improve their performance, and to enhance their ability to win!

      Top performing leaders, executives, and managers have seen the wisdom and a positive return on their investment of time and resources in training and coaching their employees for ‘optimal’ results. Things are changing in boardrooms, and on the sales floors of businesses across North America and around the globe. The author has worked with leaders and their teams across to world and has seen this first hand.

      People experience problems and challenges in their performance for four major reasons:

      Poor or inadequate training for the job

      Inadequate equipment to do the job

      Time constraints to do the job

      Motivation to do the job

      Leadership coaching in its essence, will help discover the area(s) which are acting as roadblocks for the person being coached. Leadership coaching can help turn roadblocks into stepping-stones for increased success, productivity, and a real sense of satisfaction on the job. Leadership coaching can bring a sense of satisfaction to the coach too -- in bringing out the best, and in seeing your people win!

      It takes courage to lead, but it is so worth it to see your own growth and the growth and success of those you lead. Check out some of these idea-rich team empowerment strategies. Go for it!
