Discover how executive coaching helped Dawn strengthen her self-awareness, prepare for high-stakes moments, and translate theory into meaningful workplace results.

The Coaching Experience

Every session with her coach, Wendy, left Dawn feeling inspired. Wendy’s insight into human behaviour offered new ways of seeing situations and helped Dawn reflect on moments where a different approach could have been more effective.

Through thoughtful questioning and reflection, Wendy enabled Dawn to explore a wide range of theories and tools, supporting her to identify which approaches felt most relevant and practical to the challenges she faces in her role.

Holding Up the Mirror

A key part of the coaching journey was Wendy’s ability to hold up the mirror. This created opportunities for Dawn to reflect on her own behaviours, question her approach, and consider alternatives. The impact was especially valuable when preparing for speaking events and situations outside her comfort zone.

Structured and Accountable

For Dawn, the structure of The Leadership Coaches’ approach added significant value. From the careful matching process to the follow-up, reflections, and actions, she always felt supported and accountable. This ensured she gained the maximum benefit from both the investment and the coaching experience.

The Impact

Dawn’s executive coaching journey provided not just tools and techniques, but also the confidence and reflection space to apply them effectively. She describes the experience as both inspiring and practical, enabling her to step forward with greater self-awareness and resilience in her leadership.
