Strengths Over Struggle: How Coaching Unlocks Your True Leadership Potential

The Richer Geek

Feeling stuck, burned out, or like you’ve hit a ceiling in your career or business? You’re not alone, and more importantly, you don’t have to stay there.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today, we are joined by Ryan Crittenden, Ph.D., of XL Coaching to explore the importance of coaching for both entrepreneurs and professionals. With a Ph.D. and years of experience in strengths-based leadership coaching, Ryan explains why going it alone can lead to stagnation, and how expert guidance can help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

In this episode, we're discussing...

• Coaching, whether for individuals or teams, offers significant benefits for personal and professional growth.

• Understanding your strengths (and weaknesses) is crucial for effective leadership and building well-rounded teams. Tools like the CliftonStrengths assessment and the Six Types of Working Genius can aid in this process.

• Entrepreneurs often struggle with the mindset of doing everything themselves, but recognizing and delegating tasks based on strengths leads to greater efficiency and passion.

• Burnout can stem from various factors, including company culture. Prioritizing well-being, engaging strengths at work, and maintaining healthy relationships are essential. Sometimes, a change in environment might be necessary.

• Team workshops, when intentionally designed to build a common language around strengths and foster interaction, can be powerful tools for team cohesion and understanding individual contributions.

• Investing in coaching is not an expense but an investment in oneself and the growth of a business or career.
