My Services

What’s your summit?

With a coach, you can climb higher, faster.

Inspiring leaders

Executives

I empower established professionals to become inspiring leaders.

As a coach to leaders, I am often a trusted thinking partner and sounding board. As they tackle their challenges, my clients discover a fresh clarity and renewed sense of purpose.

I coach executives and other senior leaders as they:

  • move from feeling “stuck” to embracing decisive action
  • incorporate more emotional intelligence into their leadership
  • manage setbacks and embrace change
  • identify and achieve key priorities
  • work to establish their legacy
Let’s talk

Admired individuals

Emerging Leaders

There are lots of managers, but few leaders.

I often coach engineers and other technical experts. Many are mid-career managers who know deep down that they must grow to become better leaders.

I coach these emerging leaders to make the leap from individual contributor to admired leader.

As a coach, I help my mid-career clients to:

  • gain fresh confidence by smashing through limiting beliefs and stories
  • become an effective, well-regarded team leader
  • handle conflict and office politics – with their team and their boss
  • become a better communicator
  • build their influence in their organization

Enhance Communication

Teams

How well is your team functioning? After all, conflict is expensive. And these days, keeping your staff engaged and loyal is a top priority.

As a “team turn-around expert” I use facilitated conversations to:

  • enhance communication, ensuring all voices are heard
  • build rapport and generate trust
  • help team members understand and handle conflict
  • clarify team goals and team culture
  • encourage team members to hold each other accountable for results
As an experienced team facilitator, I know that it’s about learning new ways of relating and creating fresh momentum for growth.

Give your team a tune-up!

Progression

Career Transition

I coach professionals to fast-track their careers.

In today’s economy, people need to take control of their career development. Making an investment in a career coach can create a huge payoff in terms of career progression and job satisfaction.

I work with professionals to:

  • clarify their career path and ideal next role
  • create a clear job search strategy with concrete action items
  • prepare for important interviews
  • negotiate a better salary / signing bonus / benefits package
  • make a bigger impact in their first 100 days in a new role
