I came to Beacon & Blade overwhelmed, stepping into an EOS Integrator role that wasn't yet clearly defined, and convinced I mostly needed more confidence. What I've discovered through working with my coach, Phil, is that the challenges were much more layered than that. He's helped me distinguish between the realities of my role and environment and the habits, assumptions, and expectations I've carried throughout my career.I also have to give a special shoutout to Hailey, who recognized exactly what I needed from the very beginning and paired me with the perfect coach. Phil has been an exceptional fit for both me and our team, and I'm so grateful she saw that.What really sets Beacon & Blade's Train the Seat program apart is that Phil hasn't just coached me from the sidelines. He's stepped into our organization, participated in and facilitated our Visionary/Integrator meetings and leadership L10s, and worked directly with our leadership team. That firsthand understanding has made his coaching incredibly relevant and practical.The best way I can describe it is that he's built scaffolding around me as I grow into this role. By helping establish expectations with our Visionary and leadership team, he's cleared a path for me to experiment with new ways of leading without feeling like I have to have it perfect from the start. He's given me both the practical tools and the confidence to start letting go of habits that have served me for years but aren't necessarily serving me as a leader.And honestly, it's been way harder than I expected! Rewiring how you've worked your entire career is uncomfortable, especially when you're already stretched thin. But Phil has an incredible ability to challenge me, recognize progress I sometimes can't see myself, and give me the right tools at the right time.I'm already seeing meaningful progress in how I lead meetings, communicate, delegate, and manage my time. More importantly, I'm beginning to shift from feeling responsible for doing and fixing everything to becoming a more intentional, confident leader.I'm incredibly grateful for Phil, Hailey, and the Beacon & Blade team. I can't recommend them highly enough.
