Case Study

🚩 The Challenge

A Program Leader was seeking to grow her leadership capacity amidst a rapidly evolving organizational landscape. Key challenges included:

• Balancing daily execution with strategic leadership responsibilities.

• Building confidence in communication and decision-making.

• Navigating imposter syndrome and self-doubt in a high-impact role.

• Developing better time management and prioritization tools to avoid burnout.

• Aligning personal values with professional goals in a demanding environment.

The leader was passionate and mission-driven, yet needed targeted support to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.

​

💡 The Solution

Our coaching engagement began with a deep-dive into self-awareness using the DISC & Motivators assessment. From there, we moved into a personalized coaching experience that included:

• A DISC and Motivators assessment with a 90-minute debrief to uncover behavioral styles, motivators, and key growth opportunities.

• 10 one-on-one coaching sessions tailored to the leader’s evolving needs and professional context.

• On-demand email support between sessions to provide accountability and timely feedback.

Throughout the engagement, we focused on:

• Strengthening leadership confidence through clarity of values and communication style

• Applying real-time tools such as the Action Priority Matrix to improve decision-making and time management

• Enhancing emotional intelligence and awareness of team dynamics

• Practicing leadership conversations using real-world scenarios to improve influence and alignment
