Leadership
Coaching
My coaching philosophy is anchored in the belief that we are all creative and have an innate capacity for growth and learning.
Often, all people need is to see things from a different vantage point, recognize limiting assumptions and mental habits. With a little nudge, they find their own way. This is coaching the person.
Other times, leaders need something different. They want to do the right thing, but may not have the experience or skills to know what to do. The answer isn’t inside, waiting to be found. Then they need options drawn from long experience and backed by solid theory. This is coaching the problem.
Leaders and manager benefit from both coaching the person and coaching the problem.

What you can expect working with me:
I bring experience, insight, and empathy to coaching. I’m grounded in real-world application, systems thinking, and a commitment to fostering empowerment and sustainable change.
Coaching tailored exclusively to you
Every client is unique, and therefore, so is the coaching relationship. I will collaborate with you to co-create strategies and approaches for your specific context. I may offer options, to promote deeper consideration that will result in solutions that are not only practical, but aligned to your values and objectives.
Thought provoking questions
I ask questions to encourage self-reflection and exploration of your thinking and the context.
Deep listening
I recognize the complexity and challenge of both personal and organizational change. I listen carefully to truly understand your challenges, goals and context. I strive to create a supportive place to explore issues and challenges without judgment.
Individual
Coaching
One-on-one, laser focused on your challenges and aspirations. You set the overall goal.
Each session we’ll focus on some aspect of that goal based on what is front of mind for you.
We’ll make tangible progress session by session as we work towards your goal.
Power Ups & Power Up Packs
Some situations need to be worked out over days not weeks. That’s when you need a power pack! We’ll focus on specific issue, such as a difficult feedback conversation, gathering feedback from direct reports, or influencing up and across.
Power up sessions are three hours, Power Up Packs are 2-3 three-hour sessions depending on the focus.
Team
Coaching
Research suggests that team structure and support have an outsized impact on a team’s ability to function well. We’ll examine and co-create the conditions for team success by working through team structures and supports.
Addressing these factors often makes dramatic changes. Once enabling structures exist, we can better address team dynamics and relationships.
How it works
Every coaching relationship is unique. We’ll start with a discovery conversation to see if we’re a mutual fit and explore goals. If we agree to work together, we’ll block out a basic schedule--weekly, every other week, monthly--whatever fits your goals and our schedule. We’ll book our first session.
At the outset of each session, we’ll discuss and refine your focus, so that you finish each session with some movement towards your goal.
I am available for reasonable text and email support between sessions.
Are You My Client?
I work with:
- Leaders who want to make a positive impact yet aren’t getting the results they want using methods taught in business schools…and they are ready to try something else.
- New managers who want to do the right thing, but don’t always know what do to or how to do it.
- Leaders who are over-burdened and want to find a way to thrive and still be effective.
- Leaders who want to find their influence and use it congruently.
Every Coaching Engagement Starts with a Conversation
Our first conversation is always free, and there’s never any obligation.
