Coaching is a powerful tool to help any leader accelerate their career, and it’s game changing in a different way for women of color who are often The Only. 

First, being The Only means you are succeeding in a system that was not designed for you. It is game changing to have a coach who helps you articulate your values, so that you move through the world in alignment and with clarity. It is game changing to be really clear on what you’re saying yes to and what you’re saying no to and setting your boundaries to align with your values and priorities.

Second, being The Only means you are subject to gaslighting in an organization. It is game changing to have a coach who believes and validates your experience. It is game changing to have a coach who will witness and celebrate your wins too.

Third, being The Only means you are literally alone which, not surprisingly, can be very lonely. It is game changing to have a coach walk beside you on your journey and be a confidential sounding board and thought partner.

Fourth, being The Only means being regularly underestimated by the people around you. It is game changing to have a coach who sees the most magnificent version of yourself and can hold that vision, even on the days that you can’t. It is game changing to have a coach who can help you draw out your inner wisdom.

Fifth, being a woman of color, especially being a Black women, means walking a very narrow tightrope at work. It is game changing to have a coach where you can be your whole self, not have to code switch, and have a supportive space to dream big on your terms.
