414: How Do You Live Without A Coach? with Dr. Dawndra Sechrist
The unfortunate truth is that not everyone in a leadership role knows how to lead effectively. An important key to successful leadership is to have a coach. As my guest frequently asks, “How do you live without a coach?” Yes–coaching is THAT important. Join us to learn more in today’s episode.
Dr. Dawndra Sechrist is the Dean of the School of Health Professionals at Texas Tech University’s Health Sciences Center. In this conversation, she shares her journey of working with an executive coach to strengthen her leadership skills, and she explores how that coaching partnership impacts how she shows up as a leader.
Show Highlights:
● Dawndra’s leadership journey at TTU
● Rising to a leadership role within an organization–and the factors to consider ● The value of a “one team” mentality
● Taking risks and failing forward
● Creating an environment conducive to leadership at TTU
● “Coaching shouldn’t be the ‘best-kept secret’ ever!”
● Feedback Dawndra has received about coaching and accountability
● Helpful questions to ask when you feel stuck
● “Why would you not want to work with a coach?”
● Key takeaways from Dawndra about the value of executive coaching and being the best version of yourself as a leader
