Vanessa, HR director of a 30,000-strong company, felt like a conductor stuck playing the wrong notes. Her team, lacking cohesion and clear communication, kept asking her to do their tasks, leaving her drowning in the shallows of micromanagement. Disagreements sparked tension, and self-care felt like a luxury she couldn’t afford.

​

Enter her coach, a guiding light in Vanessa’s leadership journey. Using the GROW Model, they charted a course towards empowerment and clarity. Vanessa began by listening – truly listening – to her team, uncovering their needs and communication styles. 1:1 meetings became bridges of trust, fostering healthy disagreements and problem-solving.

Gone were the days of impulsive “yeses.” Vanessa learned the power of “no” – not as rejection, but as an opportunity to empower her team. They flourished, taking ownership of their tasks, while Vanessa focused on strategic initiatives. The conductor found her baton, leading with confidence and purpose.

​

But the transformation went beyond work. With her coach’s support, Vanessa discovered the importance of self-care. She carved out time for herself, returning to work rejuvenated and ready to inspire. The guilt of neglecting her team or work vanished, replaced by a deep sense of fulfillment.

​
