Executive coach Muriel Wilkins is back September 18 with an all new season of the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of real life executive coaching conversations.
This season, first-time managers, mid-level leaders, and executives work through some of their most pressing career challenges. You’ll hear conversations around questions like:
- How do I know if I should make my interim role permanent?
- Have I taken my career as far as it will go?
- How do I build more effective relationships with my peers and those above me?
Muriel helps each leader discover unexpected insights about themselves and actionable steps they can take to move forward. Listen in and learn with them.
SPEAKER 1: I have gotten feedback in the past that I sometimes tend to kick up, kiss across. I have a real challenge with leadership who I consider is not up to the task or inept.
SPEAKER 2: Saying that I can run the ship for a few weeks or months, that’s different to saying, “I’ll be the right thing into the future and you can count on me for years to come.”
SPEAKER 3: I think I work best in greenfield environments as opposed to more established, more mature environments, because there’s so much to fix.
MURIEL WILKINS: I’m executive coach Muriel Wilkins, and we are back with an all-new season of Coaching Real Leaders. On this show, we dive deep into actual coaching sessions with leaders facing real problems that you might just be facing as well. This season we’re tackling everything from deciding if you should move from an interim to a permanent position to wondering if you come off as too demanding or controlling, to figuring out if you’re in a rut and how to get out.
SPEAKERS 4: All these pivots happened because at the time, the thing that I think is the what for is the basis of those decisions. And then I get there and I’m like, “Nope, that wasn’t it.” So now I think I’m completely second-guessing myself because every time I made that decision along the way it has turned out to not be the decision. Gosh forbid I actually use that as a teaching moment of saying, “Well, maybe it’s cumulative and you needed all those experiences to get to where you are,” but my mind doesn’t tackle it that way. It’s like, “Nope, you just messed up again. Nope, you messed up again.” And I think that’s where I’m at now.
MURIEL WILKINS: Listen in on these real coaching sessions and learn some lessons to apply to your own career. Coaching Real Leaders returns with season six this September. Be sure to subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so that you don’t miss an episode.
