I landed my first job through the campus placement. It was a management trainee role and I was reporting to a manager who had been with the organization for 25 years. Nothing prepared me for the transition from the campus to corporate culture. From being a carefree college student one day, to a corporate executive the next day, was not an easy journey. Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed and lost in a team that was much more in age and experience. Specially my boss was very demanding and I found myself unable to adjust to his style of leadership. My coach helped me overcome my anxiety and helped me create a step-by-step plan for settling-in. Through the sessions, I could learn the essential corporate behaviors that were expected from me. Coaching helped me find myself, when I was feeling totally lost and helpless. I could easily see the gaps in my performance and plan my actions to conduct myself in a more mature way. Soon, I felt that I was respected and a well-accepted part of the team. The relationship with my boss also improved and I could finally meet his work expectations!
