The Office of Leadership has an exciting opportunity to share with you: Skillsoft Coaching. For those looking to be coached, this program offers leaders at all levels (who have been in their position more than 6 months) the opportunity to engage a leadership coach who has been certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the gold standard in coaching.
Coaching has been proven to enhance productivity, improve decision-making and elevate well-being. And now you can take advantage of this powerful development investment!
Senior Chief Charles C. McKenzie in the Atlantic City, N.J., recruiting office, says working with coach Becky Magnotta gave him clarity, focus, and new strategies that have prepared him to lead at the highest levels.
“Becky helped me establish clear SMART goals for both my personal and professional development. Together, we developed a structured action plan to ensure I remained on track and accountable,” he said.
A 360-degree feedback assessment provided insights from his peers and colleagues, enabling them to strategically target his areas for growth.
“When you spend most of your professional career in a highly structured environment like the Coast Guard, you become a master of the leadership competencies within that system. However, an outside perspective can broaden and deepen leadership potential, allowing for new strategies, tools, and approaches to better support and develop those you lead” McKenzie said.
90% of past participants in this program report having reached their goals – now, you too can be on your way to elevating your leadership success!
