Late one night, I received word of an incredibly challenging staffing situation. Based on my role and influence in that situation, I knew I needed to do something.

But what?

My mind raced 100 miles an hour. All night long.

I didn’t sleep much. I woke up the next morning, still uncertain of what to do. I had three, maybe four, options, but I wasn’t certain which route would be best.

So I called my coach. Thank goodness he answered.

I laid out the scenario. It was reassuring to know our conversation would be kept in confidence. As I walked through all my options, he asked me one question. One question changed the course of the conversation. It also changed the outcome of the crisis for me.

One single question.

Even as a coach, having a coach is still critical. As a leader, I need to keep reaching my true potential. The question my coach asked is not the important thing. What matters is the coach’s role.

We believe leaders need a team, and coaching is a way to add someone new to yours. What I know from that crisis is that having a coach is exactly what I needed.

As you live into your plans for reaching your true potential, we are in your corner. We are only an email away. Let us know if we can ever jump into the leadership ring with you.

Let’s go. You’ve got this.
