Executive Coaching isn’t just for executives

For the past year I have been participating in the ABFE Connecting Leaders Fellowship program. This has been a great opportunity to connect with other young leaders in the field and to receive amazing mentorship and support from experienced leaders in the field but the greatest benefit has been the professional coaching that we have received. Career coaches help you identify areas for improvement (like delegating, communicating with co-workers, and developing a good relationship with you supervisor). They also help you develop goals for improving your professional development and hold you accountable for reaching those goals. Our coaches were from VIPCG consulting and they coached us by phone twice per month for 10 months. If you are looking for a way to jump start your career or if you need advice about a specific issue that is slowing your career progression, consider coaching.
