Congratulations to Tanika Harris, NCC’s office manager, who has recently completed the PACE Executive Coaching Program.
The program provides certified BIPOC Executive and Life Coaches to BIPOC nonprofit executive and next-generation leaders in the region to strengthen their leadership, organizational and personal growth. Candidates are chosen to work one-on-one with a personal coach the candidate selects, meeting weekly over six months.
Tanika rates her overall experience as beneficial both professionally and personally. “My coach helped me address stressful, recurring issues in a more positive way,” she explained. Tanika found exploring each person’s – including her own -- leadership style to be very valuable. “I tended to keep things bottled up,” she admitted. “During this experience, I developed strategies and plans to voice changes that helped me and others manage better.”
The result, she said, was a huge relief. “I felt more empowered and confident and saw positive change.” The principles also spilled over into her personal life as she applied them to time management at home. Tanika encourages anyone considering the program to do it. “I was reluctant at first but I now navigate in a more positive light. I see a change in myself. I’m a better person for it!” And, in turn, so is New Century Careers.
