Taking the Stage: Breakthrough Stories from Women Leaders

A Practical Coaching and Leadership Development Guide for Women Leaders

This inspiring book contains a collection of courageous stories told from the unique perspective of both coach and female leader. In each story you will learn how the women leaders were able to make significant changes in their skills, behaviors, and leadership approach and how these changes benefited their careers and organizations.

The nine stories of leadership success are not atypical. For every one of the leaders in our book, there are thousands of other leaders in similar positions without the benefit of a coach. The majority of them will not see the changes they could make, and will continue doing more of what they had been doing in the past, and both they and their organizations will wonder about what else was possible.

In each case, through focused reflection and exploration of the coaching relationship, the women leaders gain insight and make changes in the way they operate, which has a powerful effect not only on them, but the world around them.

The reason why the field of executive coaching continues to grow is because it is one of the most powerful processes for making beneficial leadership change whose multiplier effect is experienced throughout the organization.

We hope you can learn from our stories about the power of coaching!

Based on years of experience, the coaches of Alexcel Group collaborated on this book with the purpose of furthering the development of women leaders.
