I work with leaders to help them think more expansively about themselves, their work, relationships, and their lives… to help them elevate their thinking to see beyond the day-to-day, and envision where they could have greater impact and influence.

Typically, clients seek out a coach during personal or organizational inflection points, after some ‘disruption’ in their daily routine, like a new role, new feedback, new goals, or a new realization they are not fulfilled. Our work together is an opportunity to explore ways of navigating and maximizing those inflection points.

How can I help you?

How can I most effectively enhance my leadership impact?

Executive Coaching is a developmental approach to making a shift in a leader’s effectiveness in their current situation, or preparing for future larger roles, to ultimately reach their leadership impact and career goals. It may also include 360 feedback on one’s impact on other people, or focus on onboarding when beginning a new position.

How can I accelerate my impact in a new role?

Beginning a new role is an ideal time to engage in Executive Coaching with a focus on onboarding / transitioning to a new organization, or to a significant new role within the current organization.  A structured approach helps accelerate integration into the team and role.

BOOK A CALL

Meet me on the balcony.

Becoming a more impactful and influential leader requires a journey of learning and new perspective-taking.  Coaching helps you “step out of the parade and up onto the balcony” to see situations from an expanded viewpoint, and thus positions you to make better decisions.  The ability to also observe “from the balcony” our inner world and our impact on the outer world (a.k.a. self-awareness), then make more effective choices based on those observations, is an absolute superpower.
