Leadership Coaching

The Power of Self-Reflection in Leadership CoachingWhen I asked one of my latest clients how she found her leadership coaching experience with me, her response was unexpected but very much appreciated and understood by me: "It's been painful."At first, this might seem like an unusual response.
