Why You Need A Coach 

I’m a former University of South Carolina college athlete.  

One of the main commonalities between sports and leadership is that you need to have a coach. 

As a leader, sometimes your job is to execute while other times you need to be evaluated. 

Many challenges that leaders face come from thinking they can do both on their own. 

Every person that reaches their highest level of success has a coach. 

Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes of all time on the planet. 

She has a coach. 

Michael Jordan, another one of the greatest athletes, had coaches. 

He wasn’t a championship performer in the NBA until Phil Jackson became his coach. 

When Tiger Woods was at the top of his game, every time he hit a ball, he’d turn his head to look at someone. 

That someone was his coach. 

Everybody needs a coach. 

If you don’t have a coach, you’re going to fall off. 

What got you here won’t keep you here unless you have someone to help develop you. 

You need someone to give feedback on things you’re doing wrong and what’s actually working well. 

If Serena Williams, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods need a coach, then you need one as well. 

I’ve had a personal coach for many years to help me become a better leader. 

I know that I can’t help you without helping myself. 

I can’t help myself if I think I’ve got all the answers. 

I know I need someone to help me, so I invest in a coach. 

Find someone to coach you to your success. 

If you want to become a more successful executive, find a coach. 

The best healthcare organizations I know make sure all of their senior leaders have a personal executive coach. 

It’s the only way to optimize performance and achieve the highest level of success. 

You need a coach. 

If you need help finding a coach, connect with me on LinkedIn and let me know. 

I can help you find someone that’ll help you grow as a leader.

What to Look for in Your Next Executive Role

You finally realize that it’s time for you to move on to a job where your talents are appreciated.

Now, you’re evaluating what you should be looking for in your next executive role.

You’ve been through the fire before and you know how hard it is to work in an organization with a leader that doesn’t value your skills and a team that doesn’t respect your expertise.

This doesn’t allow you to help the people you came to help; the patients and the frontline members that look up to you.

You need to be in an environment that nurtures you but there is a chance you can jump out of this frying pan and into one that’s worse.

You need to slow down and really think about what environment you want to be in and what it takes to be successful as a leader.

Why Nursing Leadership Is Important

Everyone needs to understand why leadership in nursing is important.

Let me explain what’s happening right now.

There are 9.7 million healthcare workers on the front lines in healthcare.

It is projected that in the next five years, 6.5 million of those workers will leave the healthcare industry and not come back.

It is also projected that only 2 million people will replace that 6.5 million leaving.

This means that in the next five years, we’ll be in a healthcare crisis.

Right now is the time for you to be a nursing leader with impact.
