I am empathetic, supportive, caring, and firm. I am an attentive listener. I create a comfortable and safe space for my clients encouraging them to think freely.
I have worked with experienced managers who often become bogged down with constant demands and busy schedules at this career stage. Common issues we addressed were defining career goals, handling business challenges, interacting with difficult employees, building relationships within the organization, and developing an authentic leadership style. All this while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
I have worked with many individual contributors at various organizational levels. Topics included building alliances, expanding influence and increasing visibility, presentation and communication skills, and defining career direction and next steps.
The transition from individual contributor to a manager is a significant career shift that requires a mindset adjustment as well as altering some established work habits. I have assisted new managers to develop the essential skills to become a successful manager.
