Leadership in 2025: Tough - and Getting Tougher
We’re only a quarter into the year, and let’s be real—it is HARD to be a leader right now. The world is moving fast. Economic shifts, workplace changes, rising expectations and a state of general uncertainty are putting more pressure on leaders to be adaptive, strategic, and emotionally intelligent. It’s a lot—and so many leaders feel left to figure it all out alone. But the good news is you don’t have to. That’s where coaching comes into play. Your coach can be an advisor, a thought partner and a safe place to explore new strategies. Our current clients are exploring everything from new business and market strategies to managing the mechanics (and the emotion!) of return-to-work initiatives. We work 1x1 on the challenge of leadership, encouraging our clients to dig deeper and go further than they may have thought themselves capable. As we often tell them, our job is to hold your feet to the fire AND we’ve got your back.
The Benefits of Executive Coaching
Let’s reframe the way you think about coaching. Whether it’s something you’re considering to benefit yourself or your company, coaching isn’t just a pro on your pro/con list—it’s a life-changing investment of time and energy. Coaching isn’t simply amplifying strengths and minimizing weakness; leaders who invest in coaching learn to:
Handle change with confidence and ease
Make smart decisions, even under pressure
Stay strong and level-headed in tough times
Communicate clearly, no matter the challenge
Keep your team motivated and on track through transitions
At Nova Leadership, we get it. We understand; we’ve been where you are and know what it means to make the tough decisions that no one else wants to make. To choose from various scenarios, when none feels optimal. To know that your decisions impact people’s careers. Leadership is hard. And as we mentioned before, we will emphasize it again: it can be lonely. Your coach can be your ally and your resource.
Real-World Success Story
Nova founders Kathleen and Lisa have coached hundreds of executives at different points in their careers. Take one of Lisa’s clients as an example:
He wasn’t in crisis mode. There wasn’t a glaring problem to fix. But he knew he needed to evolve—fast. His company was going through major changes, and he wanted to be ready to seize new opportunities rather than just survive them. Over six months, Lisa worked as his strategic sounding board, helping him navigate challenges and shape his own growth. The result? He landed a major promotion, expanded his role, and now leads with more confidence and impact—all while helping his team grow.
The ROI of Coaching: The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Coaching isn’t just something that would be “nice” to incorporate; it delivers serious results and can be a profoundly impactful investment for you and your company. Recent studies from Metrix Global and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) show that coaching delivers:
We agree—that last one sounds absolutely wild, but here’s the bottom line: Coaching delivers double-digit returns for you and your organization—and that’s tough to argue with!
