LEADERSHIP COACHING
The KLI Leadership Coaching Initiative includes up to five hour-long one-on-one coaching sessions for students to develop their leadership potential with a professionally trained and certified leadership coach. I llango Bogschutz ’29 interviewed Cathy Wang ’26 about Cathy’s experience with leadership coaching.
Illango: “ What has been the most rewarding and most challenging part of leadership coaching?”
Cathy: “The most rewarding part has been having external guidance that has helped me shape my life. Working with my coach and having someone to always ask “Why?” has made me have a mindset shift through learning to always consider other perspectives. On the flip side, the most challenging part has been having the power to drive the conversation wherever I want it to go. You get so used to doing and talking about what others decide, that it can take some time to take the driver’s seat.”
Illango: “Now that you have taken part in leadership coaching, what is something you would advise others?”
Cathy: “Do it! Leadership Coaching has brought my life so much clarity. My coach always offers a third-party perspective to any issues I am facing, which has helped my growth loads. A specific thing that my coach has encouraged is to find natural, unofficial mentors. These can be anyone in your network that you can learn from. For these mentorships to be the most rewarding, make sure you both contribute to each other’s success.”
