So often, we look at leaders as just being in their positions because that’s who they are - natural born leaders. They have the skills, they can “talk the talk, walk the walk”, and are meant to be where they are. Maybe there are some who have traits that make them feel more at ease in a leadership position. Throughout Moser Learning’s DISC training we discuss how high D styles tend to be go-getters, self-starters, and are highly competitive, making leadership roles a goal they set for themselves. That doesn’t mean someone with a different style can’t be a leader or that those with high D styles didn’t have to work hard to get where they are! When we look at leaders as having just arrived there, we dismiss the journey they took to get there. Or, as Dr.Seuss puts it in a much more amusing and poetic way, the “strange birds you’ll get mixed up with”. It brings to mind the iceberg image. Above the water we see their success. But below, we don’t see the failures, disappointments, late nights, rejection, sacrifice, and hard work.

When it comes to professional coaching, the impact is no different. It can save careers, boost careers, make us leaders, and transform us into great leaders. Having the right coach makes all the difference. It’s a partnership that empowers individuals to unlock their full potential and achieve their professional goals, while impacting them personally. In the ever-evolving landscape of the professional world, coaching serves as a valuable compass, providing guidance and support to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities. A good coach can help you realize your strengths, face your challenges and conquer them, increase your self-awareness, grow your emotional intelligence, and so much more.
