Article: Providing the Value of Coaching by Dana F Bitzer

I’ve had Dana work with my team several times throughout the years - both in groups for our year end retreats, as well as one-on-one coaching with individual employees. My team loves working with her and I’ve seen an incredible amount of growth from my employees every time she completes a session with us. Dana is able to customize the approach and messaging based on our unique needs as a company, and makes an effort to meet with company managers ahead of time to make sure she understands the specific needs we’d like to address during the group sessions. The result is an effective and comprehensive experience that has helped us grow together as a team, as well as allow employees to tap into their core strengths and growth potential. I would highly recommend Dana to any company looking to improve team synergy, performance, and overall moral.

I will be joining ExecOnline and Emceeing the third day of ExecConnect. The 5th annual leadership development conference will take place on our proprietary, fully interactive virtual learning platform.

2020 has introduced tremendous change and transformation to organizations worldwide. Now more than ever, leaders are being asked to step up in new ways and lead change, but this requires new skills and mindset shifts.

This year’s event will focus on equipping CHROs and L&D leaders with the strategies, best practices, and tools to seize this moment and accelerate business transformation at their organizations. We will focus on critical areas such as developing inclusive leadership, building effective virtual workplaces and cultures, and shaping the future of learning.

The Alumnae Leadership Circle event series equips female executives with insights, tools, and connections to help them advance in their profession and/or achieve career fulfillment. This gathering of dynamic women is designed for alumnae to share advice on the complexities that arise in leadership positions. On April 10, alumnae in the Bay Area are invited to develop coaching strategies that can used as impactful management tools.

To be an effective manager and leader in today's workplace, we must be an effective coach. Companies like Google state that number one thing a good manager must do ‘is be a coach’. Gallup wrote, “In today's knowledge-driven economy, a coach is a necessity to engage and retain the workforce.”

The use of coaching skills for managers means uprooting traditional ways of thinking and creating spaces for people to thrive in their work by being more fulfilled and authentic. For us to be good coaches and leaders, we must be our authentic selves. We hear these phrases often: “Be Yourself”; “Be Authentic”; “Be Real”. But what does it mean for you to be these things? 

Why is it so powerful to be yourself, authentic and real? And how do you start to tap into your power today? In this interactive event with Emory alumnae, you will be able to broaden your understanding of coaching skills while tapping into your authentic power.
