Coaching the Leadership Coach

Probably the most daunting experience I have ever had was to coach Keith Coats in Social Media. Keith is a well respected and seasoned leadership coach. So I was nervous that I would not hold up under the pressure. Well Keith turned out to be great to coach, he was very interested in learning and spent alot of time doing additional exercises between sessions to ensure that he really got the hang of Social Media.

Here’s what Keith had to say:

Social Media Coaching-Keith CoatsIt wasn’t long into a meeting with Mike (one he had initiated and in which he approached me to do some mentoring with him) that I realized I had more to learn from him than the other way round! What followed has been an amazing journey as Mike has coached, mentored and supported me in exploring the world of social media technologies and most importantly, how to strategically connect the dots in this world. Mike’s skills sit not merely in his undoubted expertise in this area but also in his incredible ability to make sense of it for someone for whom it…well, doesn’t make sense. I have no hesitation in endorsing Mike as a Coach in this area…and have done so repeatedly. I wish more of the leaders with whom I engage would avail themselves of Mike’s expertise. Then again, I suspect many who work with and for these leaders, wish the same!

Taking things further

Keith is still in coaching as we have dived into further Social Media marketing avenues. Keith recently lauched his personal leadership blog called “On the balcony” which looks at leadership from the balcony. Watching and learning instead of busying ourselves with more and more things to do.

This blog has become the center of Keiths social media and internet presence. Keith plans to continue his social media coaching even more as he has found it to be a neccessity to his business.
