Privacy professionals face unique challenges in their roles, often working across teams to implement privacy initiatives that might not always be a top priority for the broader organization. Many privacy professionals struggle with persuading stakeholders, managing heavy workloads, and effectively communicating risk across their organizations. This uphill battle requires confidence, strong leadership skills, and persuasive communication to effectively integrate privacy into business operations. How can privacy professionals develop these skills while building privacy programs and addressing burnout and career growth?

Executive coaching is a powerful tool for privacy professionals looking to improve their leadership skills and ability to influence decision-making. Mastering prioritization, cross-functional collaboration, and articulating the value of privacy programs are essential for long-term success in privacy roles. Practical strategies such as improving time management, refining persuasion techniques, and addressing burnout can help privacy professionals navigate their responsibilities more effectively. By focusing on behavioral shifts and mindset adjustments, privacy leaders can strengthen their influence, drive organizational change, and create sustainable privacy programs. Whether working solo or as part of a privacy team, patience, adaptability, and proactive engagement are critical for success. 

In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Doug Miller, Executive Coach at Doug Miller Strategies, about how coaching can help privacy professionals refine their leadership skills to navigate challenges and lead their teams. Doug shares insights on the skills privacy professionals need to develop, how leaders can better support their teams, and why coaching can help professionals build resilience amid regulatory and organizational challenges.
