Coaching’s Role in Enabling Professional Women

“Now that I recognize where my self-doubt comes from, I don’t let it control my actions. I have the power to take action despite my fear.”

“I have become less dependent on what other people say and instead look for validation internally. It’s like I have become my own best friend.”

I received these comments from professional women after a year-long coaching relationship. At the end of the coaching program, rolled-out as a part of the company’s commitment to achieving a gender-balanced workforce, the participants were asked to identify the areas where coaching had been most beneficial.
