Today was the last session of my #GROW2GLOW #Coaching and I would like to share some insights with you. 👇   GROW2GLOW is a coaching initiative for women at #Siemens. A team of qualified coaches support female Siemens colleagues in their professional and personal development.   Together with my coach Stefanie Warmerdam I chose a mixed coaching format, meaning that we had virtual as well as face-to-face sessions. The face-to-face session was most beneficial for me, as it allowed me to not only apply my rational understanding of the topic but also to deepen my experience through engaging in physical activities and room-based exercises. Stefanie’s coaching style was characterized by her spontaneity and flexibility: if an important topic came up in our conversations or exercises, she was able to adapt on-the-fly and improvise to support me in the best possible way. That's what makes a good coach! ✨   My coaching was about defining my needs and values in the professional context and dissolving internalized beliefs. I don't want to go into detail but would like to share one surprising fact: Although I am known as an efficient and overorganized person that is addicted to checklists and tracking (my annoyed friends can confirm that as well), all workflow-related values were surpassed by social core principles like self-efficacy, authenticity, and idealism. However, the high ranking of empathy was definitely no surprise. 😅   I can fully recommend GROW2GLOW - Siemens coaching initiative for women ! Thank you, Stefanie! And thanks to Siemens for this great initiative! 🙏 #femaleempowerment #teamsiemens
