When we’re trying to make a career move or overcome a professional challenge, certain habits and behaviors of ours can prevent us from growing and succeeding. In Coaching Real Leaders, longtime leadership coach Muriel Wilkins takes you inside real-life coaching sessions with executives who’ve hit a bump in the road on the way to reaching their goals. Listen in, and leave with insights and guidance that’ll help you grow and succeed too.

In this episode, Muriel speaks with Grace, a VP who’s just been passed over for a promotion that would have put her on track to the C-suite. Grace’s out-of-the-box approach to solving business problems has made her successful in her current role. But now, in order to make it to the top, she’ll have to reposition herself.
