Our coaching approach is tailored to each individual; our time together is entirely about you and what you want to achieve. We will use a series of tools and resources to help you leverage your strengths, overcome challenges and put your skills to use.

Coaching for Experienced Leaders

If you’re already in a leadership role, you have an idea of where you feel capable and where you are challenged. Your own leadership style will come into sharper focus through self-assessments and insights into how others see you as a leader. Based on that awareness, we can address specific skills and put your knowledge into action.

Some Areas of Focus for Coaching Experienced Leaders:
• Professional Presence and Confidence
• Execution and Getting Things Done
• Leading Through Change and Ambiguity
• Problem Solving and Decision Making
• Building and Maintaining Relationships

Our Coaching Process for Experienced Leaders

Through a series of one-on-one sessions, we explore who you are and what you want to become as a leader. We then set goals, implement an action plan and continue to learn from your experiences.

  • Exploring Your Leadership Capabilities: Areas where you feel most confident and those that are most challenging to you.
  • Developing Personal Awareness: Insights into your leadership style through self-assessment and feedback from others.
  • Taking Action: Set goals for yourself and implement a leadership action plan.
  • Learning from Your Experiences: Explore what you’ve discovered about yourself and make adjustments.

Coaching for Emerging Leaders

Coaching for emerging leaders starts with you-what you want to achieve and how to best get there. Once we have a vision for your career as a leader, we will explore your organization, how it develops leaders and where you can have a greater impact right now .

• What are your organization’s values? How are they demonstrated by its leaders?
• Who are the organization’s most respected leaders? What makes them stand out? What competencies do they exhibit?
• Which individuals in the organization are an inspiration to you? What can you learn from observing or working with them?

As you gain more insight, you’ll begin to put new leadership skills into action.
