Thirty more things to bring to coaching

I recently posted an article listing 30 things that people often bring to coaching with me. It is a handout that I use with students on a course that I help run in the Summer but is based on my experience with the executives that I regularly coach.

Well, it has proven to be one of the most viewed articles that I have placed on LinkedIn, and so I thought I’d add the further thirty items from the other side of the handout!

I hope that they will be of interest.

1. Building my external network
2. Deadling with (difficult) individuals
3. Developing my industry presence
4. Doing research and preparing reports
5. Engaging an audience
6. Feeling uncomfortable about something
7. Getting to know key influencers
8. Giving something back
9. Having more impact (world, industry, organisation)
10. How do I work with a PA?
11. How to make new friends
12. I don’t do what I want to do
13. I don’t really know how to delegate
14. I know something won’t work but
15. I’m changing; but my partner isn’t
16. I’m sceptical of…
17. I’ve had this feedback
18. Life work balance
19. Managing tasks more effectively
20. My boss is a bully
21. My family and other animals
22. My health is suffering
23. Raising my profile internally
24. Someone says that I’m a bully
25. Thinking strategically
26. Time management as task management
27. What does this initiative mean?
28. What’s the next big idea?
29. Where do I take my organisation?
30. Widening my knowledge of the organisation

Naturally, there is no particular order to them!
