\"Kelly<\/a>by Kelly Gangl<\/p>\n

I am excited to share that recently I had the opportunity to write a chapter for a book called \u201cCoaching Perspectives\u201d. My chapter as well as several other talented coaches reveal the stories and perspectives learned through the experience of coaching. In my chapter, I share the insights gained from an eighteen-month contract working with a CEO and the leadership team of a small business.<\/p>\n

This project came about while I was still in a graduate program for Organization Development at Bowling Green State University. Initially, my hope was that this would serve as a worthwhile school project; in reality this evolved into a major organization change initiative that had a powerful impact on the entire organization. Because this was my first external coaching contract, I learned many lessons throughout this journey and the insights are shared along with stories and reflections from both my own and the CEO<\/a>\u2019s perspective. This project was one of the most challenging yet exciting experiences of my professional career. It was thrilling to see the results of what is possible when employees<\/a> are invited into participate in the planning of the company\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

I share the journey the entire company went on as we co-created a new direction. As reflected, there were many trials and tribulations including several of my own from the perspective of a first time external coach. The journey began with the uniting of the leadership team and progressed to the creation of a cross company employee team<\/a>. All of these efforts contributed to the continuous improvement of the company\u2019s operations. One of the key learnings of the leadership team was that the change starts with them.<\/p>\n
