When we think of coaching, we often picture guiding others. But the most effective leaders know it begins within—by practicing self-coaching. In their ATD article, Dr. Emmanuel Dalavai and Jennifer Meiss remind us that developing the ability to guide our own growth not only makes us more self-aware, but also equips us to help others thrive.
”Be the coach you wish to see in yourself is more than a catchy phrase; it reflects an empathic mindset that you can leverage to engender a spirit of mutual trust and respect.
Dr. Emmanuel Dalavai
By embracing self-coaching—through reflection, structured models like GROW, and intentional empathy—leaders can strengthen their own resilience while building healthier, more connected workplaces.
