Overworked and understaffed I was brought into a beleaguered department with an enormous, overarching mandate that affects every other department in its organization. The department …
I’ve never met anyone who enjoys receiving criticism or negative feedback. But it’s something we all have to face from time to time. A few years ago, I met with a client who had a particularly hard time with it. Even discussing the criticisms, mild and constructive to my ears, in his recent performance review …
Over the years, several clients told me that they heard my voice in their head when facing challenging situations. They said that my voice was there to remind them of the things we spoke about during our coaching sessions. Some said they heard questions to help them reframe situations, to see things in a new …
