The Manager as Coach: Get Curious
By Lisa Kramer

Throughout organizations today, business leaders and managers are adopting a coaching style of leadership to achieve results from their employees. At the heart of this leadership style is the ability to be genuinely curious -- to listen deeply and to ask powerful questions that stimulate creativity and inspire action.

Asking questions rather than providing answers is the key to leadership excellence and success in the 21st century. Yet, too often managers stop themselves from asking questions because they believe that giving the answer saves time. That may be true in the short run. However, by getting curious and asking powerful questions, managers stimulate creative solutions from their teams. When faced with a challenge, asking powerful questions elicits more innovative responses from team members, creating buy-in to move forward with greater energy and enthusiasm.

Are you ready to embark on a new challenge in your life that feels like a stretch?

Feeling some frustration moving forward?

Not getting the results you want?

You are not alone!
Let's face it. We all get in our own way.
I've experienced it personally. I am ready to move forward with something new, and I stop myself, feeling bogged down at times and spinning my wheels.
What I've learned in my ten-plus years as a coach is that when we embark on something new, doubts and fears are likely to surface. It's perfectly normal

Here's what I know from my own experience. No matter how much work I've done on myself, old 'GREMLINS' surface in new ways. I find my thinking cloudy and uncertain. My energy gets low and my enthusiasm for my work drops off. Doubts surface. Can I do this? What if it doesn't work? On and on it goes. Those are "red flags" that I need some support to get clarity.
If you sense you're sabotaging yourself...

If you are getting bogged down in indecision, spinning your wheels...

Dr. Sabrina Schleicher is an expert in helping people get out of their own way so they can have more of what they'd like.

Please join us for this free teleseminar where Sabrina will help us identify and eliminate the obstacles standing between where we are now and where we want to be--in life, career and business.
