Coaching in the UAE: Who Benefits from Wellbeing Leadership Coaching?
First of all, What Is Wellbeing Leadership Coaching?
'Wellbeing leadership coaching is a specialised approach that aims to enhance leadership skills while prioritising the overall wellbeing of the leader. The ultimate goal is to create resilient and effective leaders who prioritise their own wellbeing and that of their team members.'
Who Benefits From Wellbeing Leadership Coaching?
Wellbeing leadership coaching benefits leaders and executives in various ways. As listed below, we’re going to dive into what these skills you achieve are and how they benefit those who have been coached.
Stress Management & Burnout
When running a business, it’s easy to get lost in the work and become burnt out and stressed. Coaches can guide you through this struggle, or help prevent it from happening in the first place. If you don’t learn how to handle these effectively, you may notice that it will start affecting your mental health. This will eventually lead to you feeling unmotivated and down when working. Being in a positive mindset is crucial when running a business. Although things may not go to plan, a coach will teach you how to push past that point and come back stronger than before.
Communication & Team-Building Skills
It can be difficult for some to build their communication and team-building skills, but it is a crucial step when leading or working within a team ranging from 2 people to 200 people. By taking on a coach’s advice, you can not only better yourself but improve your team dynamic, as although you’re there to do a job, building trust and respect from your peers benefits everybody immensely.
Balancing Your Work & Personal Life
To work efficiently and carry yourself as a leader, you need to make sure you draw a line between your work and personal life; if you don’t, it may affect your mental health. Some individuals may begin to resent their job as they don’t have a healthy balance. Coaches can be there to guide and support you early on to prevent this from happening.
Coping With Workplace Challenges & Changes
When faced with challenges and changes, you need to learn how to adjust to new processes and technology, manage high workloads, and develop resilience. Clarification on the reasons behind changes ensures that employees feel confident with their roles. Without clear communication, they may be left with unanswered questions. Coaches empowering employees to handle these situations will motivate and encourage them when they are in the workplace.
Improving Decision-Making
When running a business, it can be challenging to make important decisions, but it’s not something to be avoided. By learning how to make a decision, especially a difficult one, it will fill you with more confidence for the future. This will also lead you to enhance your leadership skills in the workplace.
Overall, wellbeing leadership coaching benefits almost everyone as one person's actions impact others. If someone is coached and taught how to set an example, people pick up on that and follow in their footsteps to not only set their own example but better themselves in the workplace.
