The use of executive coaching to enhance leadership, interpersonal skills and business strategy has proliferated in recent years. No longer is it a sign of trouble but rather a sign of the continual pursuit of improvement. In a recent blogpost, Marshall Goldsmith - recognized as one of the top ten Most-Influential Business Thinkers in the World - observed: “I have seen the perception of coaching shift over the last three decades: Instead of a punishment, it’s now a mark of prestige to have a coach. It means you’re probably going places in your career.”
Perspective. Fresh out, I take it?
You can’t always control your circumstances, but you can control your perspective.
We are all brilliant at seeing things our own way – it’s part of what makes us unique. When we face challenges or circumstances outside our control, however, we can very quickly come up against the limits of our own perspective.
