Last month I started a new coaching program for myself.
I know. I KNOW. You might think I’d have it all figured out by now. š But here’s what I’ve learned after 25 years of doing this work: the leaders who stop proactively investing in themselves (eventually) stop growing AND limit their impact.
DIY leadership development is expensive. In dollars. In time. In energy. In confidence. In momentum.
āIāll figure it outā is a common approach for smart leaders.
āHelp me figure it outā is the approach for wise leaders.
When you try to figure it out alone, it costs you. You eliminate access to people smarter than you. You literally donāt see your blind spots. You make avoidable decisions and take detours that cost you months, sometimes years. You miss opportunities and access you didn’t know existed. You stay stuck in patterns you can’t even notice because you’re too close to them. Thatās the personal cost.
What about the organizational costs? For every dollar invested in structured leadership development, organizations see an average of $7 back. That’s not a coincidence. That’s the math of what happens when someone finally helps you design an actionable plan.
You don’t need more time to figure it out. You need the right room.
