Leaders who aren’t assertive just aren’t as effective as they could be. Here’s why assertive leadership is crucial for your organization’s overall success.

We’ve all experienced it. You’re in a meeting, you identify what you believe is an IT glitch, and ask for input from the VP of IT. He looks up from his laptop and says: “Can you repeat the question?”

The Problem: Disengaged and Apathetic Team
An Aerospace Executive, we’ll call her Connie, was concerned because her team was disengaged and apathetic.

All of us, including top leaders, find ourselves in a job search at some point.  And, if you’re in a leadership position, it takes that much longer because there just aren’t as many jobs available at the top. 

Do you need to tone down your voice tone, word choice, gestures, and emotions to ensure you don’t “sit on” ideas, people, and decisions?

Part of being an effective leader is managing meetings well to ensure your team’s time is used wisely and that meetings have a positive effect on the bottom line.

“My experience with Donna’s Executive Coaching was outstanding. She brought clarity to challenging situations and aided me to develop new skills and insight into myself and those who I work with. Thank you Donna!”

“I have only worked with Donna for a few months and already the insights I have received have helped me break down roadblocks that have held me back for years. She is insightful and supportive, but more than that, she helps you discover, reason, and feel. She intuitively knows when a topic needs pushing and that is what I am most grateful for. Initially I would think I’m talking about something, but she would help me discover that the issue was something else entirely.

I already feel like I’ve grown by leaps and bounds and look forward to working with Donna to continue breaking down the barriers that have kept me from growing my business and my personal brand to its full potential.”

“I have learned new processes in my Executive Coaching sessions which have helped me to grow in my executive experience. I am amazed at the talent Donna has and how upbeat she is on a consistent basis. She is truly meant to be a Coach. She has guided me through some challenging situations. And, I’m sharing what I’ve learned with others so that they, too, may benefit with the wisdom Donna imparts.”
