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 – How 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.

C.O.U.R.A.G.E. – Courage for Women

A Coaching Model By Julie I Bockarie
Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

The model I chose is C.O.U.R.A.G.E. It is about courage for Women who wish to transition from where they are to where they want to be empowered to ‘jump’, and no longer be paralyzed by fear. Many women are so indoctrinated with so many ideas that their inner glass ceiling hinders their ability to show inner courage. To know whether women are courageous, one needs to put them in a position where they must fight for their loved ones.

Comfort vs. Courage

A Coaching Power Tool By Julie I Bockarie
Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

Many people, especially female leaders, encounter obstacles in their careers that make it difficult for them to advance to higher positions. These barriers become internal glass ceilings, manifested as self-limiting beliefs, fears, feelings of inadequacy, etc., causing them to fall into their own comfort zone. Comfort vs. Courage is a power tool to help clients move towards their goals, and coaches need to help clients realize what they might not be able to see for themselves. This idea creates awareness.

Believing vs. Questioning

A Coaching Power Tool By RaShonna Amos
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Why would we want to reframe Believing vs. Questioning? We can be our own worst critics and can find ways to question our value, worth, capabilities, and even the positive things we know to be true about ourselves. When we question ourselves, it is important to allow that natural reflection and emotion to be present, name it, and work through it. We can critically analyze why we are questioning, why we are doubtful, and what is based on fact.

Setting Boundaries: What They Are & What Prevents Us From Setting Them

Research Paper By Carol Surban
Leadership Coach, PHILIPPINES

In light of what this research has shown me, I have to chuckle at the well-intentioned advice to “set some boundaries around that.” Like most things in life, setting boundaries is more complicated than it first appears, and it seems easy to fix In fact, a lot of personal inner work may be involved first.
