ABOUT COACHING
MAKING A CHANGE
Simply put, leadership coaching is about facilitating change.
Clients typically come to me because they acknowledge that they are looking to learn and grow, and my role is to help facilitate that process, effectively and efficiently.
Common use cases for our 1:1 coaching offering:
- Becoming a trusted and effective leader
- Managing emotions at work
- Improving executive presence
- Embracing difficult conversations
- Improving relationships with key stakeholders
PARTNERSHIP APPROACH
Coaching is based on a partnership of equals. I know you are resourceful.
My role is to help you tap into your resourcefulness through thought-provoking questions, challenges and support.
While we will briefly review how you got here and identify what has worked (and not worked) in the past, our objective is to become clear about where you are today, the future you want to craft, and how to address the obstacles in the way.
Through increased self-awareness, you will be able to tackle your most urgent matters – developing strategies to harness your energy and resources that will help you move forward with clarity of purpose and authenticity towards your work and life goals.
ACTION PLAN
We will work together to create and implement a bespoke Action Plan that addresses your unique needs and desired outcomes. Within the Action Plan we will identify goals, strengths, obstacles, awareness practices (internal work), and measurable behavioral changes (external work).
Importantly, we will outline metrics for success, with specific milestones to ensure that we are optimizing your ROI.
The formalization of an Action Plan is key to facilitating the results that you want to achieve, and ensures that we stay on task and on track throughout our engagement.
HOW IT WORKS
Most coaching engagements consist of three to nine months of interaction, depending on the desired outcomes. Typically, we’ll meet every week or two in person or via Zoom, as agreed upon in our coaching contract.
Homework will be defined and completed by you. I have a long list of recommended reading should you be so inclined, but if not, that’s okay too. As partners in the process, I expect you to be putting in the same level of time, energy, and commitment as I do. This is the only way to maximize the effectiveness of our work together.
