Customer Situation:

A newly elevated Partner in a Management Consulting Firm faced a strange problem. He felt he behaved like the lion when he was working with his team but became a mouse in front of the firm’s leadership team. This affected his decision-making capabilities when it came to talking about his team to the leadership team. His awareness only heightened his inadequacies and he decided to use his coaching engagement with us to address this situation.

Our Engagement:

As part of our coaching, we explored his mindset and his unspoken fears and belief systems. This greater clarity allowed our coachee to discover his root causes for his apparent subservience in front of his leadership team. With awareness comes choice and we now started working with him on how he could adopt a warrior mindset. This meant significant improvement in his physique, and greater level of preparation for leadership meetings that improved his confidence.

Customer Outcome:

Our coaching helped the partner to build a greater level of self-trust, that allowed him to engage spontaneously in leadership team discussions. More often than not he discovered that leading from the front actually allowed him to achieve more in leadership settings.

His chairman was quick to notice the change and congratulated him on his transformation. The added gravitas now enabled him to move higher in the organization with many more partners reporting into him.

When competency meets presence, potential gets amplified.
