Your Next Move Podcast 124. Is Coaching Worth It? What High-Performing Leaders Know About Getting Results
If you've ever wondered whether coaching is actually worth the investment — this episode is your answer.
In episode 124, Kimberly breaks down why the most high-performing senior managers, directors, VPs, and executives don't wait until something is broken to seek out coaching. Drawing from her own experience in coaching relationships since 2013, Kimberly makes the case that coaching isn't a rescue plan — it's a growth strategy.
She walks through the three core ways coaching creates real transformation: breaking through skill-based roadblocks, shifting limiting mindsets, and getting tactical strategy tailored specifically to you. She also unpacks the difference between 1:1 and group coaching, and how to know which format is the right fit for where you are right now.
But this episode goes beyond the why — Kimberly also gets into the how. Because investing in coaching is only half the equation. Getting your money's worth requires intention, honesty, and showing up ready to do the work.
