Building Team Visibility, with Mel Rivera

This episode explores how the Coaching for Leaders Academy supported Mel Rivera, a senior manager in a software company, through a period of significant team expansion and organizational change. Mel shares how the academy's structure, particularly the 60-day commitment framework, helped her focus on being a narrative strategist to highlight her team's value. A key element was consistently documenting team achievements and seeking regular feedback from stakeholders, which led to increased visibility and confidence in her team's contributions. Mel also discusses how the CliftonStrengths test revealed a blind spot regarding her energy levels, prompting her to prioritize self-care and set boundaries to be a more effective and present leader.
