Illuminate Coaching and Leadership Canada Candace Brunt

why do you need a leadership coach?

Great leadership doesn’t just happen – if it did, we would all have had a great leader.
Leaders are lifelong learners. They intentionally hone their brand, practice skills, and experience consistent personal growth.
Great leaders strive to be aligned in their purpose and values.

A big part of achieving this is developing self-awareness.

Self-awareness will illuminate your leadership path forward. Without this, it’s impossible to know when you’re on the right track.

Working with a coach will exponentially increase your ability to grow and understand your awareness, allowing you to continually improve as a leader throughout your career.

do the best you can until you know better.
then when you know better, do better.

Another common challenge of developing leadership is adopting a leaders mindset. Most often what got you here, won’t get you to where you are headed. It requires a fundamental shift in your perspective and in how you approach the world.

What is your mindset doing and how is it impacting how you lead?

These are hard questions to answer on your own. A coach will ensure you are successful at exploring your mindset – helping you get out of your own damn way!

testimonials

Candace has been a boon to work with.  I’ve sought her advice to help me refine my career path and personal plans  She listened, provided non-judgemental feedback, and provided alternative (potential) interpretations to events that I relayed to her.  This “second opinion” on life events helped me refocus my efforts, my values, and my next steps to move forward with my career and my personal plans. She’s also great to put up with the rambling, nonsensical, retelling of my days and my thoughts and opinions.  Always focused on “what are you going to do next”, she puts me into an action mindset that helps me stay focused on going forward.

Cecil, Director Architecture
I have had the great benefit of working with Candace for a number of months and have gained tremendously from her coaching, particularly in my mindset and leadership.  Candace always ensured a clear focus on my goals for each session and supported me as I explored my thoughts, feelings, and actions. She has an exceptional way of listening, both to what I am saying, and to what I am not verbalizing, and reframing in a way that is gentle, yet straight forward and has led me to so many ‘aha’ moments. I have grown as a woman and a leader due to my coaching with Candace and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Tarra, Marketing & Business Services Manager
I have benefitted from Candace’s natural ability as a leadership coach. Our work together has provided me guidance in my leadership journey as a maturing senior leader within my organization. Through her one-on-one coaching she has helped me to clarify my own personal and leadership objectives, enabled me to crystalize my leadership strategy and has challenged my thinking on relationship development and leadership competencies. Throughout this experience, Candace has brought a pragmatic balance of leadership theory and practical application that has enhanced my ability to direct my team, and work more effectively with my senior leadership peers.

Adam, Director
Through these sessions, I learned a lot about myself and gained a new way of thinking. With exploring and learning about myself through coaching, I finally found out that I have treasure in me and I’m a precious person like others. That was a big key that changed how I approach both work and life. I will continue to use what I learned for a better work-life approach.

Angie, Program Coordinator
I started working with Candace when I became a first-time corporate manager and I am so glad that I did. Without the support and guidance she provided me with, I don't think I would have become the confident and competent leader I am now.
