From Climbing Corporate Ladders to Coaching Success: A Coaching Odyssey

Posted on January 02, 2024 by Lisette Fabian, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.

Everyone's journey into coaching is a unique experience. Join me as I share mine - from corporate climbing to personal triumphs and guiding others.

From Being Mentored to Being Coached:
Early in my career, I found mentors in leaders from various parts of organizations whose advice I deeply appreciated. However, it wasn’t until I crossed paths with Roseanne Maiman, the leader of a technology company’s learning and development team, that I truly understood the transformative power of coaching.

Roseanne and I embarked on a journey focused on growing my relationship-building and management skills. From understanding personality frameworks like MBTI and DISC to practicing the art of maneuvering office politics, influencing, and motivating others, these lessons became invaluable as I navigated various roles and company changes, ultimately leading to my first executive role in another country.

Evolution of Coaching Needs:
Stepping into executive leadership, I quickly learned that the skills that brought me here needed a significant upgrade. Working with Bartjeron van der Veen, coach to the company’s co-Founder and CEO, became pivotal. His guidance helped me navigate the complexities of executive leadership in fast-paced technology-driven startups, allowing me to flourish in subsequent executive leadership roles, eventually rising to interim CEO and co-CEO.

Amidst my career growth, my personal life faced agonizing challenges, eventually leading to divorce. It was during this time, right before the pandemic, that my coach Bartjeron played a crucial role in guiding me through this personal anguish. His expert guidance, including co-facilitation of the MMS Inner Negotiation Workshop, and his recommendation of the book “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer provided me with the advocacy and illumination I needed to traverse this complex reinvention.

With each career and life transition, my coaches served as guides, creating space for introspection, providing a mirror for clarity, and offering tools for adaptation. This support not only aided my career but also became instrumental in navigating tremendous personal growth. It endures as I am guided today by a clear vision for my future, with a current focus on health and business goals. I am on a steadfast path of living the life I desire.

The Power of Coaching Today:
It was through these experiences that I realized my greatest fulfillment also came from coaching and guiding people towards their goals – a role I had played for years as a respected manager and leader. Shifting my focus to coaching felt natural, enabling me to dedicate even more time to helping others, mirroring the impactful guidance I received from my own coaches.

As I worked with my first several executive clients, I learned that the insights from my experiences were relatable and beneficial to their journeys. We tackle a myriad of topics, from managing investor relations and leading organizational change to establishing healthier nutrition and fitness habits and improving personal relationships.

As a culmination, in addition to my personalized 1:1 coaching, I offer two customized coaching programs: Leadership in Life and Self-Empowered Leader at Work. Both take you on a journey of clarity, understanding, focus, commitment, and perseverance. I guide you, in support of your commitment to yourself, providing space and insights for the changes you desire to make.

Are you aspiring to be a leader in life and in work? Do you have the right support system in place? Let me be your coach, guiding you on a path of holistic transformation. Reach out today and make your commitment to change.
