case study

Transforming Executive Leadership

Challenge

Michelle, an Executive Director at a major investment bank, found herself grappling with a challenging confluence of personal and professional demands, exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic. Her circumstances forced her to relocate from New York City, reside in temporary housing, and juggle her high-pressure job with the added responsibility of supervising her children’s remote schooling. This unrelenting stress had taken a toll on her well-being, and she was beginning to exhibit signs of burnout, contemplating the possibility of leaving the firm. Fearing any perception of weakness, she concealed her struggles from her boss and colleagues.

Solution

Fortunately, Michelle’s company had the foresight to enroll her in Her New Standard’s executive coaching program, designed to support and retain high-potential women like herself. Under the guidance of her coach, Michelle embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. She learned to prioritize self-care, adjust her unrealistic expectations, and set healthy boundaries, while still achieving great results for her company. Once she confronted the underlying beliefs that were holding her back, she adopted a more strategic approach, delegating tasks to her team and regaining control over her work-life balance. Michelle’s sense of accomplishment was restored, leading to a noticeable boost in her equanimity and self-assurance, as well as her productivity.

Outcome

Over time, Michelle’s newfound confidence and improved performance did not go unnoticed. Her manager observed her remarkable transformation and recommended her for a well-deserved promotion to the position of Managing Director (MD). Michelle’s journey is a testament to the positive impact of executive coaching, demonstrating how it can empower leaders to navigate complex challenges, achieve personal growth, and attain new heights in their careers.
