Hi Dave Stahoviac here, host of coaching for leaders. You know we've talked a lot over the years about coaching skills on this

podcast and a lot of us have heard someone tell us that we need to be more coach

like in how we lead. But to what end? Sure it's's great to be coach-like, but what does that actually do?

That's why I'm bringing you this conversation with Monica Chartier, one of our Academy alums,

and now one of our coaching for leaders fellows.

She shares what came out of her recent focus on working to be more coach-like.

Here's my chat with her.

Today I have Monica Chartier with us. She is one of the alums of the Coaching

for Leaders Academy and is also one of our Coaching for Leaders Fellow. She's been selected to not only serve

as a leader within our community,

but also to give back to many of our Academy members

who are working with us today.

Hello, Monica. Good to talk to you.

Wonderful to talk with you, Dave.

Let's start with perhaps framing a bit

about your work professionally and your role.

Could you tell me a bit about that?

Absolutely.

I am a group product manager for the global e-commerce shopping experience at Dell Technologies.

And I've been with Dell for about seven years now.

Very good. You and you have a pretty large team of direct reports, right?

I do. Yes, I have 13 direct reports right now. I'll spread around the globe. That's a lot. The big team, yeah.
