Challenge
A manager in a Fortune-500 firm was promoted to a new role that required her to lead team meetings, mentor and lead direct reports to success. While she was already a strong team player, she was not accustomed to motivating, inspiring or mentoring others, especially while needing to hold them accountable.
This was causing her anxiety and self-doubt, which was limiting her ability to show up as the strong leader she was expected to be and that she yearned to be.
