HERS-SA 2023 20-years Celebration Magazine – Dr. Sharon Munyaka
‘Coaching done with curiosity, courage, and compassion is the gift that keeps on giving. The doors of possibility will open if we allow ourselves to remain open and fully present in what we are creating together.
The coaching journey helps us to connect to our common humanity. It allows two people to engage in a safe and confidential space; a space where the conversation can be deepened without fear of judgment. Seeing our common humanity, and seeing ourselves as human first, enables the boxes that we are defined by to dissolve.
In essence, coaching is about partnering, unlocking potential, and connecting the coachee with the best version of themselves, that who can be impactful and productive in the spaces they lead.
Coaching women leaders has been a journey of discovery and enlightenment. It has been a space to breathe, a space to re-imagine a different world where women can show up in their fullness and lead from an authentic place. As I coach women, my role as a thinking partner takes on many forms. I am a thinking partner who listens, who listens until it hurts, challenges the status quo, affirms, holds up the mirror, and gives feedback on what is emerging.‘
