The big leap to management, you can do this...
Being a new manager is like being handed the keys to a rollercoaster you’ve never ridden before while everyone’s looking at you to be the expert on rollercoasters. There’s that initial rush of excitement, quickly followed by the stomach-churning realization that you’re not entirely sure how to steer this thing. It’s like being the captain of a ship in a storm, except the ship is made of paperwork and your crew consists of people who may or may not have their sea legs yet. You’re simultaneously trying to project confidence while secretly googling “how to be a great boss” in the bathroom stall. I know this feeling and the big leap to management can feel very overwhelming and you are not alone.
Career coaching for new managers involves providing personalized strategies to help people who have recently transitioned into managerial roles. This form of coaching aims to equip you with the necessary skills and mindset to excel in your leadership position. Coaches typically work closely with managers to help you identify your strengths and areas for development, set clear goals, navigate challenges, enhance your communication and decision-making abilities, and foster a confident and effective leadership style. Through reflection, discovery, feedback, and tailored action plans, career coaches empower new managers to overcome obstacles, maximize their potential, and thrive in their managerial careers.
