When it comes to leadership, even the most experienced professionals can benefit from support. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, leading a growing team, or trying to level up your skills, 1:1 coaching can provide the guidance and clarity you need. But how do you know if it’s the right step for you?

Aside from these 6 signs you should hire a coach, here are some clues that 1:1 support might be just what you need to take your career, and your impact, to the next level:

You have concrete goals and timelines. 

Are you working toward a promotion, driving results in a new role, or preparing for a major initiative? Leadership coaching helps you set clear objectives, create actionable strategies, and stay accountable as you work toward key milestones.

Working on your own hasn’t been getting results. 

You’ve read the books, taken the courses, and tried to work through challenges on your own — but the needle isn’t moving the way you hoped. A leadership coach brings fresh ideas, personalized insights, and proven tools to help you overcome roadblocks and make real progress.

You thrive with a partner and cheerleader. 

Do you feel motivated by having someone in your corner? A coach provides not only guidance but also encouragement. They’re there to brainstorm solutions, offer honest feedback, and celebrate your wins — big or small.

You’re aware of what’s holding you back, but don’t know how to move forward. 

Maybe it’s a confidence issue, difficulty managing conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities. A coach can help you identify what’s keeping you stuck, develop strategies to address it, and build the skills needed to grow as a leader.

Deciding to invest in leadership coaching is a big decision, and it’s okay to feel uncertain. For some, group coaching is a better fit.
