Don't let anyone coach the heart out of you.
Leading with heart takes courage. It takes effort and vulnerability upfront. But it pays you back in team trust, honesty, and effort that can't be replicated.
Coaching for you
You care deeply about your people, and you've been told, one way or another, that it's holding you back and you need to think more for the business. They aren't mutually exclusive. Let's make it your edge.
This is me → For executivesCoaching for someone on your team
You have a leader everyone trusts and loves working for. The potential is there if they can direct it appropriately. Invest in them, through 1:1 coaching or group manager mentorship, and you get a stronger business, not a softer one.
That's my leader →Empathy isn't a nice-to-have.
It's a business advantage.
Sincerely caring about people is often treated like something leaders can indulge in once the real work is handled. That's backwards. Here's what leading with heart actually buys the business:
Feedback that lands
When you deliver hard feedback, people reflect and act on it, because they already know you're in their corner and want them to succeed. Your team will have a steeper growth curve with less drama.
Leeway when you're wrong
When you mess up a decision or a communication (and we all do), people are more likely to assume good intent, because you've consistently shown them your character.
More, in the hard moments
When you need or ask for extra effort, people give it, because they know you're not just extracting from them for your own benefit. They have seen you do the same for them.
Seeing around corners
Because you know your people deeply, you spot conflict, communication, and engagement issues before anyone else does. People are honest with you about what the blockers are. That's one hell of a superpower for a business.
No costume required.
I'm Jane. I've spent 15+ years leading People teams, most recently as VP of People at two companies. That work took me through hypergrowth, a pandemic, layoffs, and managing profitable, growing businesses. I did all of it while caring out loud and being radically, openly myself.
It didn't hold me back. It's why it worked. Now I coach leaders to do the same.
