83. Coach Yourself: Tips From an Executive Coach - Antonia Bowring

Every high performing athlete has a coach. No matter how talented we might be, there is always a benefit to receiving impartial, independent, outside, perspective on how to improve our performance. It’s been said that if you don’t have a coach…get one!

That said, it takes a great deal of work and dedication to even begin to hone one’s skills, learn their craft, improve their performance. A great deal of that work has to be done by the individual.

Antonia Bowring is a very highly credentialed executive coach. She works with founders, C-Suite executives, and leadership teams. During her career, she’s come to believe that there is a definite need for guidance for people not quite ready to engage a professional coach, for any number of reasons.

Seeing that need, she’s authored a book to help fill that need. Coach Yourself!: Increase Awareness, Change Behavior, and Thrive provides keen insight and advice for anyone seeking to improve their performance, whether they currently have a coach or not.

Listen as Antonia discusses with host Bill Ellis, the importance of coaching and keys to coaching yourself!
