Empowering Unconventional Leaders Through Coaching

This podcast episode from 'The Act of Coaching', hosted by Phil, features a conversation with Camille, an alumnus of a leadership and performance coach training program focusing on helping leaders who don't fit the conventional image of leadership. These include CEOs and founders in the biotech, pharma, and technology sectors, many of whom are navigating leadership challenges without prior experience, facing heightened scrutiny due to their unconventional backgrounds. The discussion covers the journey to coaching, the impact of coaching tools on personal and professional life, and how deep listening and refraining from giving advice can transform relationships. The conversation also delves into the importance of resilience, the journey through coach training, and how these skills benefit both professional coaching sessions and personal interactions. Camille shares her motivation to serve those in leadership positions who, like her, may not fit the traditional mold due to various reasons including their background and career path. The episode ends with an invitation for listeners interested in becoming professional coaches to explore training opportunities.
