Limiting Beliefs of Young Female Leaders and How to Overcome Them

A Research Paper By Debora Hofmann
Leadership Coach, GERMANY

As a coach, I am focusing my work on young female leaders. They often work in organizations and systems that are constantly changing and evolving. Although young women today have more opportunities than they did decades ago, they still face obstacles in the system that affect their work. At the same time, most of these young leaders often struggle with limiting beliefs about themselves and the opportunities they can see with their own eyes.

Storytelling Approach – What Coaching Looks Like When We See It Through the Lens of Storytelling

A Coaching Model By Debora Hofmann
Leadership Coach, GERMANY

The idea of “storytelling with our lives” became important for me for other reasons: Through the years that I studied sociology, I got deeply used to thinking in systems and seeing anyone as a carrier of different roles in different plays that need to be performed. Internal and internal role conflicts are my daily troubles. My head is constantly dissecting systems and conflicts around me. Using the storytelling approach I can let go of purely analytical thinking and start to focus on the future. What is supposed to be happening here? Where is all this meant to be going?

Empowered vs. Limited

A Coaching Power Tool By Debora Hofmann
Leadership Coach, GERMANY

In Coaching, clients are seen as resourceful and capable and that they don’t need someone else to empower them. They need to do this for themselves. Our job as coaches is to support them in this process. If they do feel limited and unable to control their lives, which is reflected in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, they can change this view. They can stand up and give themselves the authority to do something. In this article, Empowered vs. Limited, supporting aspiring female leaders to find a more empowering perspective for their current situation is only the first step. As I am coaching through the lens of storytelling, we are working on their leadership story here.
