Leadership development from the inside out

Everybody talks about creating change, but few people are willing to do what it takes to change themselves.  Many other coaches and consulting companies claim that they can teach you the path to success and better leadership.  The problem is, these strategies typically act as a facade whereby old habits and strategies are temporarily masked to produce immediate short-term results.  Once the training, consulting, or coaching is over, individuals and organizations often regress back to old patterns.  

Real change and transformation need to take place from the inside out; beginning with one individual and eventually expanding out to their direct reports, departments, and the organization as a whole. 

Similarly, for a company to produce sustainable results in the marketplace, it must first begin internally. Making strides to boost skills, moral, and productivity of human capital will have a direct and lasting affect on customer satisfaction and market placement.

Ten years of experience as a clinical counselor have endowed me with the skills and tools to attack problems at a deeper level – to unpack complex issues and address the root cause that leads to sustainable change.

My job as a coach is to work with business leaders to create transformation from the inside out; whereby sustainable change and results help the individual, team, and organization to thrive!

You are a unique leader

Every coaching relationship is different and my coaching programs are uniquely built to tackle the specific challenges that you are facing. Although I follow a model for coaching implementation, the specific materials that are reviewed and developed are tailored to meet the needs of each and every client and create a unique plan of action that ensures positive and sustainable results.

Is coaching right for me?

I offer an initial free consultation to review your needs and let you know how I can help. We will talk about expectations and requirements to ensure the coaching relationship will reap benefits, before committing to each other long-term. In this 20-30-minute meeting we can determine if the relationship is a good fit and how to move forward.

Executive Coaching & Leadership Development

Advancing your career requires that you learn new skills that weren't needed in the past. Boosting emotional intelligence and leadership skills will allow you to empower others, rather than do all the work on your own. Maximize your potential in your job or organization by learning how to be an extraordinary leader.

Executive coaching is ideal for:

• CEOs

• C-Suite Managers

• Emerging Leaders

• Entrepreneurs

• Founders

When should I hire a coach?

Getting a promotion at work or running your own business is something to be proud of. Often times it is a business leader’s success in their job that leads to circumstances that they are ill prepared for. They find their new role requires skills that they either don’t have or haven’t had the chance to previously develop. Coaching can bridge the gap from where you currently are to where you need to be in order to experience success. 

Coaching can be particularly effective in times of change for a business leader. This includes promotions, stretch assignments, and starting your own business. While you may be confident in your abilities to take on new tasks, you may feel that an independent sounding board would be beneficial in helping you achieve a new level of performance, especially if close confidants are now reporting to you. More so, you may recognize that succeeding in a new role requires skills that you have not needed to rely on in the past; a coach may help sharpen those skills, particularly when you need to do so on the fly.

Executive coaching is effective for business leaders who can say, “I want to get from here to there, but I’m not sure how to do it.”  Coaching works best when you know what you want to accomplish, you are open to feedback, and desire creating positive change.

The Path to Extraordinary Leadership: Know-Do-Be.

Knowledge and change begins with self-awareness and awareness of what your employees and organization need from you. Doing includes planning and action steps to practice new skills and get feedback that allows you to adapt. Being is when successful habits become an authentic expression of who you are as a leader.

How does executive coaching work

Coaching is usually a 6 to 12-month relationship where you and your coach will assess your needs, create goals and an action plan, and then meticulously carry out your plan.

Coaching helps business leaders bring awareness to the patterns and themes in their life that limit them from actualizing their full potential.  Coaching empowers business leaders to deepen their level of communication, integrity, commitment, and leadership.  

Business leaders should seek coaching when they feel that a change in behavior or mindset—either for themselves or their team members—can make a significant difference in the long-term success of the organization.

Feedback is key to success

As individuals advance in their career, feedback becomes increasingly important, more infrequent, and more unreliable.  The result is that many managers and executives plateau in critical interpersonal and leadership skills. 

There is great demand in the workplace for immediate results and coaching can help to elicit comprehensive feedback and integrate feedback into the company culture.

360 Leadership Assessment

Comprehensive feedback is the single most difficult communication to elicit from others and simultaneously the most critical information to your success as a business leader. In coaching programs, the 360-degree assessment is conducted early and is utilized as a key part of planning and goal creation.

How do you get the feedback you need

If your closest colleague felt safe enough to truly speak their mind, what would they say about your ability to be an effective leader?  If these same people are holding the secrets to your further success, wouldn’t it make sense to ask them what they are? The problem is that hierarchical structures and workplace politics make it difficult to get trusted and comprehensive feedback.

How assessments are used

Coaching begins with an assessment phase to gather key information prior to pressing forward with a plan of action.  An assortment of assessment tools is utilized to provide vital feedback and understanding of current leadership practices and help to lay a foundation for further development.  

The information gathered in assessments are utilized to develop metrics to measure the effectiveness of each and every coaching relationship.  Assessments are used at both the beginning and end of coaching as one of many ways that we track your progress and results during our coaching relationship.
