Summary:
This week on The UpLevel Podcast, we have an empowering conversation with our guest Kendra Reddy, a dynamic leader and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach who shares her philosophy on living a 'big life'—embracing both the highs and lows that come our way. She reflects on how pivotal moments shaped her understanding of value beyond job titles, leading to an inspiring career in coaching. She opens up about her journey from executive recruiting to human capital consulting, where she discovered the transformative power of coaching in the workplace.
Join us as we explore what it takes to live and to lead expansively while navigating through personal challenges and professional expectations.
In this Episode:
Learn how living a big life means accepting all aspects of experience, including challenges.
Discover why coaching is an engaged process that supports someone's greatness rather than following a strict model or set of questions that affect professional development and personal growth.
Hear Kendra’s story about how she earned her 11 certifications and discuss how she overcame her imposter syndrome.
Kendra emphasizes that a good coach helps clients embrace their potential beyond job titles or roles. It lies in being fully present, lending strength, and encouraging clients toward their greatness.
Learn the importance of aligning coaching practices with organizational culture for lasting impact. True success in coaching involves helping clients internalize their learnings and apply them independently over the long term.
Understand why organizations need to shift away from rigid metrics towards recognizing incremental progress in coaching outcomes. They need to realize that measuring coaching effectiveness goes beyond billable hours or fixed assessments—it's about continuous improvement and transformation.
