Role Anxiety

Performance pressures cause us to experience stress and anxiety. This leads to average performance which leads to increased stress and anxiety levels. Unless you apply the brakes, you will be on a spiralling downward movement.

We all have different coping ability. While your colleague may be perfectly comfortable in his/her new role, you will find yourself floundering. This is perfectly normal. What would not be normal is not to acknowledge that you are having performance issues and not trying to find a way to resolve it. Sometimes the organization may recognize this issue and arrange for using services of a coach.  If they don’t , then the onus is on you. It’s your life after all.

Does using services of a coach make you inferior or inadequate by any means? No, definitely not. It is the other way around. You are using this service to enhance yourself and become comfortable in your new role as a manager or leader. You will be able to work on yourself to becoming the confident manager/leader that you visualize.

A Coach partners with the client and has a reflective conversation, at the end of which the client is able to resolve the matter at hand and arrive at their own action plans. In coaching we believe the client is the Subject Matter Expert and will know what is the best action plan. It is a client driven process and the belief is that the client is creative, resourceful and whole.

The coach helps you in making the breakthrough and getting the true reality that was evading your notice.  It calls for the client to make the necessary changes that the client him/herself has identified. When clients decide on the future action plans, they take ownership of it and are more likely to follow it as compared to suggestions/advices offered by others. The coach will act as your support system and be a partner in your journey.

As a result of my coaching, you will be able to remove your mental inhibitions, identify what is holding you back and move forward at an accelerated speed in the desired direction.
