Moving into a new, higher-level position with significant authority for the first time can be intimidating. In our Women Leaders Emerging coaching circles, many of our conversations circle around the feelings we have when stretching into these roles. Some recent coaching conversations we've had include:
1. How are you hoping that this role will advance your career? What is your vision for this role? 2. What are the top priority objectives for your role from the leadership point of view? From your direct supervisor's point of view? 3. What is the one area for which you'd most like to develop credibility and influence? 4. Why did the organization hire you? What were they hoping you would be able to accomplish? What strengths and skills do you have that no one else has? 5. What matters most to the stakeholders involved in your work? What do they need to advance their agendas? What are the key barriers they face? When are their busy times? What's the best way to communicate with them? 6. What do you anticipate your greatest challenges will be? The common thread in all of these questions is breaking down the hugeness of your developing career identity into manageable areas of focus. You'll be able to start thinking about what's next to focus on rather than being overwhelmed by not having everything in place right now. What did you discover as a result of answering these questions? We'd love to have you join in on free peer-coaching conversations on our Facebook group, conspiring women. See you over there!
