Top Tech Leader Struggles With Productivity & Being Overwhelmed
But first, let me tell you a story about Ava, a director in a large company who came to me for executive coaching. She was working long hours and was overwhelmed by all her projects.
She was very talented, and one of her coaching goals was to increase exposure to senior management to build a brand and enhance her career.
Her senior VP had been brainstorming with her to develop a new product. The meetings were exciting and productive.
Then, they took an unexpected turn. In the last month, Brad, the director of another department, had begun collaborating with the senior VP on the same project. Now, he was talking to Brad and not to her.
Her question to me was:
“How can I get the senior VP to speak and brainstorm with me again?
She wanted to know how.
