Are You Ready for Coaching?

I’m aiming for a promotion or career transition

I’m worried about layoff or termination

Build more confidence in high-stakes conversations

Improve cross-functional communication and influence

Create clarity and focus amid competing priorities

Manage time, energy, and boundaries better

Strengthen decision-making and prioritization

Better stakeholder influence and communication

Getting invited into more strategic decision-making conversations

Understanding the expectations of my role

Getting off a PIP (performance improvement plan)

Navigating exec politics or leadership friction

Team challenges (trust, hiring, accountability, etc.)

Very supportive — they’d likely fund or encourage coaching

Somewhat supportive — I’d need to make the case

Neutral — they don’t block or support

Unsupportive — they might see coaching as a weakness

Encourages feedback and coaching, but informally

Talks about development, but doesn’t follow through

Doesn’t prioritize growth — you’re on your own
