Executive Coaching:

Even High Performers Need Help Now and Then

 

Leadership is rewarding. But it can also be incredibly frustrating, confusing and daunting -- even for the most accomplished professional. You don't have to go it alone. An executive coach can help. As a three-time founder, I've built businesses from scratch, successfully exited and worked in a global corporate setting.

 

I've also had the privilege of consulting CEOs and C-suite leaders with some of the world's largest companies. I leverage every bit of this in-the-trenches knowledge to benefit my clients, helping them tackle the challenges they face and elevate their leadership skills.
My sweet spot is working with CEOs of growth-stage companies and their key leaders.

What To Expect

 

My style is inspiring and solutions-oriented. I listen and ask thought-provoking questions that lead to deeper insight. I bring warmth and heart to our conversations. I help you clarify what you really want and what's keeping you from it. Then use process, perspective and accountability to help you get there.

 

Here's what you can expect when you work with me.

Create an Action Plan

 

We work together to set measurable goals supported by a detailed action plan, complete with strategies, steps and deliverables.

Break Through Roadblocks

 

Each session, we discuss your progress, what's working and what's not. I help you overcome obstacles and find new solutions. 

Access Proven Resources

 

Based on your unique needs, I provide proven tools and techniques, share my own experiences, and recommend resources.

Optimize Your Thinking

 

 I share cognitive strategies that put the science of high-performance leadership to work for you. You learn to think at a higher level and manage your emotions more effectively.

Achieve Your Goals

 

I give feedback and guidance to help you stay on track. When you reach your goals, I help you acknowledge your wins and build on your success.

Bonus: The Learning Journey

 

I'll help embed what you're learning so you can see life and leadership through a new lens.

You'll develop new habits and find better ways of thinking and doing that can be applied to other parts of your life.
