Project Management Approach to Coaching

As I started my coaching practice, I thought of it as a drastic career change. Turns out it is not. In multiple coaching sessions with my clients, I found myself using the same project management tools I was using on my corporate job:

✅ Intake form: Who are you? (personal brand) What resources and support do you have? Who are your sponsors (aka supporters)?
✅ SWOT analysis: inventory of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (roadblocks)
✅ Goal setting (using SMART goals)
✅ Roadmap and milestone plan
✅ Activities log (to keep them on track and going)
✅ Communication plan and GTM (go-to-market strategies)
✅ Lessons learnt and best practices
✅ Change management framework (moving them from current state to the desired future state)

At first, I thought I was holding onto my true and tested tools & tricks 🛠️ for my own comfort, but the more I reflected, the more sense it actually made. As a coach 🤓, my job is to unleash the potential in my clients and encourage them to tap into their own resourcefulness (strengths, skills, talents, motivation, self-awareness).

To those who wonder what value coaching can bring, think about it this way: we all start from the same baseline (more or less), yet some reach their full potential and some do not. What gets in your way? What gives you energy to keep moving? How do you design life where who you are, what you do, and what you believe in align perfectly together? Where do you start? How do you sustain positive change?

These insightful questions + safe and collaborative space is what a skilled coach has to offer. A good coach holds up a mirror 🪞 for you to see your most authentic self and a flashlight 🔦 to illuminate your path .

Ask me how I can help you! Happy and fulfilling new year folks!
