What an amazing opportunity it has been to reconnect through the foundation! I recently had the chance to catch up with a past colleague after years apart, and let me tell you, it felt like no time had passed at all! This incredible experience is a true testament to Tiffany Flaming’s knack for building meaningful connections.
Tiffany is the powerhouse behind Build Your Bench, a dynamic consulting and coaching platform tailored for today’s professionals. With nearly 20 years of coaching leaders under her belt, she finds unparalleled joy in helping individuals break down barriers and achieve their goals. As she puts it, “There’s nothing more rewarding than removing obstacles so people can reach their goals!”
Throughout her career, Tiffany noticed a crucial gap in leadership development: companies often invest in executive coaching, expecting the benefits to trickle down, but all too often, they don’t! This leaves middle management feeling the strain. Tiffany passionately points out, “Mid-level leaders see the most employees every day. They are the lens through which those employees see the company culture." These leaders deal with day-to-day frustrations and obstacles, and when they become disengaged, it impacts the entire team.
That’s where Tiffany shines! Her mission is to supercharge this vital tier of leaders through a progressive development approach. And she has a powerful strategy in place!
Here are some exciting steps she uses to create impactful change:
1. Psychological Safety: Licensed through the Academy of Brain-Based Leadership, this principle helps ensure that team members feel safe to express themselves. If they don’t, they’ll revert to old behaviors, which stifles growth. By understanding what makes teams successful, she empowers leaders to create environments where collaboration and innovation thrive.
2. Gallup/Clifton Strengths: Tiffany emphasizes the importance of leveraging individual strengths within teams, ensuring everyone can contribute to their fullest potential.
3.GROW Coaching and Situational Leadership: Tiffany uses the GROW coaching model to help leaders make faster, better decisions. Drawing on the principles of Blanchard, Tiffany teaches leaders how to foster personal and professional growth from within.
Tiffany's approach relies heavily on coaching cohorts and peer coaching. These collaborative approaches provide ongoing support, allowing leaders to grow together and learn from one another.
Our visit resonated with me and our commitment to educating women. Tiffany aligns perfectly with the mission of the Auld Foundation, which champions the advancement of women in business and communities. Through mentorship and tailored coaching, Tiffany is helping to break down barriers and create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
