executive COACHING

People often choose an Executive Coach in order to have a thought-partner to help you step into your authentic leadership.

I work with high-achieving, successful leaders who often want to feel more confident in the role they are in and the decisions that they have to make. The higher you move up the ladder, the harder it is to share your doubts, your insecurities, whether or not you are making the right choices.

I get to be that thought-partner to you as you determine what is the best course of action for you and to quickly enact in to find the success or the iteration.

I partner with you to help you see your strengths and your blind-spots. By focusing on your leadership development and not just the tasks at hand, to lead others and make value driven impact in your organization.

We create and focus on the goals and outcomes that you want to achieve and then discuss the way that feels the most authentic to you in order to achieve them.

What is the Leadership Coaching Process:

• Begins with a questionnaire and gaining clarity on what you want to work on.

May include: self-confidence, executive presence, speaking, leading strong teams, managing others and/or up, conflict resolution, goal setting, strategy and implementation, cross-collaboration. I also want to know how is your health, wealth, love and free-time to ensure you also living a well-rounded life that is your choice.

I don’t know that we can ever be truly balanced in our life. But are you creating space for the things you care about?

As we gain clarity as to where YOU ARE now:

• We then hold these areas of growth, while exploring what comes up in your day to day that wants to be explored. The coaching strategy is very personalized to you and each session is a deep-dive into what you want to explore.

• In between sessions, is where the work, the self-reflection and pivoting happens.

• We will design together what you are looking for in the coaching journey and how you learn best (ie. tools, books, self-reflection, etc.)

• Visioning of what your long term goal is and what kind of a leader you envision yourself to be.

• Aligning of both the mental and the body. Teaching you ways to be in your body, to relieve stress, fear of the future and/or overwhelm.

• Uncover your personal values and help define them in order to assist you when making difficult decisions.

• Define & clarify any organizational values to ensure that you are aligned.

• Leverage an assessment tool to truly know your impact.

  • The Hogan Assessment — a personalized assessment tool that helps you understand how you are perceived at work and how you show up under stress. We can then use the assessment throughout the coaching to minimize derailing behaviors and focus on your specific strengths and values. Does not require input from others.

  • CCL, The Center for Creative Leadership Assessment — a personal assessment that utilizes a 360 with input from boss’, peers, skip-levels and others that can give you a realistic picture of your impact.

  • Human Design Report - A tool to understand the way you move amongst the world, where your strengths are and where your intuition lives.

A new way of working

The workforce is changing and covid has just taken it to a completely new level where we often feel alone.

1. We feel like we need to know more or know it all.

2. Work faster.

3. Do it all while working from home and balancing all the rest of your life.

4. The anxiety is real.

Many of the Leaders who come to me are in transition.

• First time C-Suite Executives looking for a thought partner to insure they are on the right track

• Moving into a Leadership Role

• First time people managers

• and those who are looking for support with the goal of the next transition

I want to encourage you out of your comfort zone to what is possible.

To encourage (and in some cases own) your strengths and to find the gold in what you perceive to be your weakness.

Values, Confidence, Strategic Thinking, Managing a team, Managing Up, Power, Innovation, Communication, Politics, Organization, Time Management, Strengths, Weaknesses, Systems… When you think of each of these attributes, where are you currently at and where do you want to be?

What we do together is explore perspectives - incorporating strengths and skills to maximize your value in a confidential setting, with your needs first and foremost.

Think about a situation you have found yourself in:

what is your typical behavior and what impact do you usually see from it?

Is this the impact you want?

what is a leader?

• Finds the individual strengths of each team member and transforms their weaknesses.

• Coaches the greatness out of people and know’s when to put on the mentor hat to “teach”

• Curiosity and confidence to discover what you might not know and to explore what else is possible for you.

• Leads from a place of authenticity - knows your values, and those of the company, and leads with them while still being YOU.

• Able to create a vision and a goal, along with the strategy and accountability to achieve them.

• Maximizes the output of already high performers and cross-collaborates with peers from a place of strength and integrity.

• Know’s and trust’s the power that is within you so that you can lead with clarity and authenticity.

What if you hate your job?

My stance is to explore all the options of how to play full out in your existing job - see what options can be there while looking for a new job or with one foot out the door. It’s amazing how perspectives often change of the person in the position or helps them gain clarity for their next role.
