Leading Matters #45 Sarah Kaler Business Coach

Sarah Kaler, business coach to women CEOs, Founders, and business leaders, is my guest today on episode 45 of Leading matters. Sarah shares the approach that she uses that helps her clients scale their businesses to deliver on the triple bottom line; people, purpose, and profit.

Love this conversation with Sarah, and I am quite confident that you will as well. Why? Because of Sarah’s genuinely refreshing and straightforward take on how we raise our professional game. She talks in depth about how we can discern where our strengths lie and whether or not a weakness is truly a weakness or just something we need to practice a little bit more. She has served women across many Fortune 500 companies and is committed to helping women in business tap into their the power of their talent. Not just succeed but to do their part to change the world positively.

HIGHLIGHTS

Service Must Be At Our Core
Success is best developed from a position of service. By seeking first to serve our customers, we naturally help change behaviors in a way that has a dramatic impact on how we deliver.

Strengths Are the Fule to Our Success
Sarah spends almost all of her coaching efforts by helping clients identify and fully tap into the power of their strengths.

Addressing Weaknesses
It is important to differentiate between an underdeveloped skill versus an honest to goodness weakness. The latter, especially if it is in a critical area necessary for growth, can be addressed by partnering with someone who possesses the talent that you lack.

The Power of Diversity
Sarah explains that one reason she focuses her business on women in business and leadership is due in part to the reality that a staggering 1200 women a day are starting new businesses. She not only wants to help them succeed but firmly believes that more women in business leadership brings greater value to everyone in business.

Buyers Beware
The coaching industry is experiencing a boom, and it feels to Sarah a little like the dot-com rush of the late 90s and early 2000s. How do we discern whether or not a coach is right for us? By taking the responsibility to research the coach and doing our homework to know what our options are when and if we decide to invest in coaching.
