You’ve decided you want coaching – and you are ready to engage a coach! You’ve carved out the time. You’ve put aside the money. You’re ready to see great results and become the leader you really want to be.

But wait! Hold on. Before you jump in – there’s one critical move that will determine whether your coaching investment pays off or is a waste of time, money and effort!

Because here’s what no one tells you: Coaching without clarity is like sailing without a compass.

Five costly things can happen when you skip this one foundational step:

1. You waste money. Without knowing your true starting point, you might fix the wrong things – and miss what really matters most for your growth.

2. You dilute your focus. Time and energy scatter in ten directions instead of laser-focusing on the root issues that block your growth.

3. You chase surface-level goals. You may set leadership goals that sound good but don’t move the needle in your real-world impact and real-world improvement.

4. You don’t get lasting results. The coaching ends, but the same challenges keep cycling back. Why? Because the real inner work that’s relevant to you wasn’t targeted.

5. You miss your blind spots. These hidden emotional patterns silently sabotage your leadership. And until you spot them, you can't shift them.

So what’s the one thing you must do first? Get an Emotional Intelligence Assessment.

Why? Because leadership is emotional. And without understanding your emotional patterns—how you handle pressure, empathy, feedback, and conflict—you're flying blind.

An Emotional Intelligence Assessment gives you the map. Coaching gives you the journey. Together, they transform you into the leader your team remembers, respects, and rallies behind.
