Week 2: Creating a Plan

There are a few things you can do to get the most benefit from your self-coaching. We recommend recording your answers to assessment below in a designated "Leadership Climb Self Coaching" journal or notebook. Your review and reflection on your answers now and in the future will be key to your continued growth.

This week is about creating a plan to improve upon you and your organization's Community Focus. It will be helpful to revisit your self coaching assessment that you did last week. Again, you may choose one or more of the following characteristics to investigate over the next 4 weeks.

Executive Presence

As elusive as it may seem, that combination of gravitas, charisma, and likability that some people just seem to been born with, is actually very attainable for us all. Your Executive Presence can be key to your ability to take on leadership roles successfully.

Fortunately, we CAN develop these skills, and the key is, first and foremost, self awareness and reflection. Awareness is the first step to powerful presence.

As you begin to build a plan of action for your personal Executive Presence, we invite you to explore other thought leaders on different ways you can approach this:

Self Coaching - Creating a Plan:

As you re-read your assessment from week one, we encourage you to begin a plan of action to become more focused on your Executive Presence...

Identify one or two aspects of my Executive presences that I'd like to focus on this month.
What are some underlying reasons that this may be an issue for me?
What are some strategies that I can use to try to develop this skill?
Identify 3 opportunities this week that I will conciously observe the situation and try out my new strategies.

General Comunication EP development:

Where can I look for ways to practice my public speaking?
What are some strategies I can use to become more effective in my public speaking?
Who do I trust to observe what I assessed last week and give me feedback on how I am improving/showing up? Ask them to do so this week!
Identify 2 or 3 ways I will measure my impact and success.
One well-timed opinion can be much more influential that multiple points of general input, how can I focus my input for more impact?
