” In today’s business environment, coaching has evolved from being a nice to have skill to a must to have skill for any leader or a manager. Even within my company. Coaching is an integral part of our leadership competency model. It’s expected that every employee demonstrates coaching competencies, takes ownership of their development and helps others grow practicing coaching skills in leadership, and equip us to face challenges with certain confidence and capability.
I was captivated by the strengths-based methodology, and how Taymour linked personal strengths to work environments. Learning about my strengths has played a crucial role in shaping my career. I’ve intentionally looked for opportunities that align with my strengths, and as a result, I have taken on a significant project that aligns with my company’s strategy, effectively driving business objectives. My strategic strength allows me to lead this project with clarity and purpose.”
