Coach Vickie
Unleashing Your Inner Leader
“I clearly remember the moment… I announced a new promotion at SAS and Vickie announced the launch of her coaching business. That was when I became Vickie's first client. Vickie led me through many of the exercises that she details in this book – discovering my strengths and values, learning to delegate and ask ‘what’ questions, using my personal brand, and building my leadership legacy. Vickie tells you it won't always be easy. And yes, it took time for these concepts to become a natural part of my leadership style and to reap the rewards of choosing roles that I love; while delighting my team by ‘treating them the way they want to be treated’. This book is a must read.
“Unleashing Your Inner Leader is a standout in the plethora of “how to be a better leader” books. Coach Vickie shares her real life experiences coaching over 4,000 managers, directors and executives in becoming better leaders. The concepts and tools coupled with real life examples of success in this book provide an easy to follow roadmap that will make you a better leader.”
“Clarity of communications in a cluttered world of competing messages is all-important. As a non-profit manager, you must know precisely the value you bring to the organization and the attributes your team contributes to communicating the message your organization seeks to impart to its constituency. This self-knowledge and organizational clarity takes analysis and refining. Coach Vickie offers a roadmap of how to get started and provides guideposts along the way to measure your progress. ‘Know yourself and know your brand’, she says. Hard to do, but she offers tools to support her good counsel.”
Coach Vickie's approach is direct and simple. What's more important than uncovering your Inner Leader and using it to play your best game possible? Business professionals know where they want to go and this book shows them how to get there. The real-life examples and case studies in this resource are a must read.
This book reflects the wisdom of an experienced, practical leadership coach whom I continue to use in my leadership programs because of her effectiveness with a wide variety of clients. Vickie Bevenour has encapsulated the lessons of her work with thousands of leaders in the form crisp insights, compelling case examples, and effective action exercises that can be used to enhance your own leadership development trajectory. She is someone worth listening to.
