Meet Coach Sam Magill
Leaders and coaches who accompany them are frequently asked to stand in the uncertainty of the gap between the past and the present. "Shall I step forward into a future that may go somewhere I can't control." "If I hold back in the safety of the platform and watch the train depart without me?" " Do I leap wholeheartedly in spite of my uncertainties?"
Leaders have often said they:
- Face Uncertainty
- Face competing and conflicting pressures
- Face ethical dilemmas in choices I must make
- Feel overwhelmed
- Would love to talk with someone completely separate from my work
Learning for Leaders
As a leader do you:
- Really see what is happening around you?
- Make sense out of what you see?
- Learn from past and current experiences?
- Equip yourself to respond to the future in fresh ways?
- Recognize your emotional strengths and vulnerabilities?
My role as a leadership coach includes:
- Enriching your ability to see what is happening
- Evoking your effective reflection about that
- Elicit confident and effective responses to your situation
Learning for Coaches
Coaches who accompany these leaders must:
- Know themselves very well so they are not unconsciously sucked into the very dynamics of their clients
- Be a precise and inventive mirror to help the client see
- Bring awareness far more than answers
- Know what to do when they encounter their own uncertainty
My role as a coach educator is to:
- Generate insightful reflection on the coach’s work from multiple perspectives
- Help the coach avoid “blind spots” about themselves and their work
- Accompany the coach on continuous professional development
- Use my own self-awareness to model curiosity and vulnerability needed for learning
- Keep myself on a steep learning curve
