Authentic communication and shared learning feed our powerful coaching relationship. I coach leaders by helping them move from planning, to action, to outcomes by identifying and executing on small, incremental changes that add up to significant impact. Together we focus on answering: What might be the most elegant steps to take us closer to the vision for our future?
In my experience, experienced managers have proven successes. The focus becomes on growing their practice and span of influence and working on more complex human problems.
My experience with Individual Contributors centers around helping them identifying their strengths, move past their challenges, and deliver more value to their team and organization. Often this means knowing how to advocate for their careers, setting goals, and establishing compelling personal development plans.
My focus when working with new managers centers on them shifting modes from being a successful individual contributor to stepping fully into leadership. We work on foundational leadership skills that they will carry through their entire career.
