Executive Coaching
“I have a more sustainable workload, healthier mindset, more confidence, more empowered direct reports, and a better partnership with my manager to address issues that are largely out of my control that impact my work impact, load, and well-being.”
—Michael, COO
Executive Coaching for Strategic Leadership
1. Focused Leadership Skill Development
We offer six-month focused coaching engagements to help leaders tackle specific performance challenges or skill development and become more effective strategic leaders. It includes a 360° assessment and debrief using the Leadership Circle Profile (or another feedback instrument, as appropriate), goal alignment meetings with your manager, and two post-engagement follow-up coaching sessions.
2. Trusted Advisor Support
For leaders who value having a trusted advisor in their corner, we offer flexible coaching engagements that incorporate both skill development and ongoing thought partnership.
3. Executive Balance
When you have the right energy, you can achieve the best results. We’ll work together to rapidly rebalance your commitments and priorities so that you can do so.
4. New Role Launch
This coaching is to help you successfully launch into your new role. We’ll first do a deep dive to develop a success plan and then support you with accountability, feedback, and coaching over three to six months.

Coaching is Hard Work
If you're investing time and money in executive coaching, we should make sure you achieve your desired result.
As your coach, my role is to:
Ask you the hard questions that lead to insight and real progress
Make sure we’re focusing on the most important topics
Help you hold yourself accountable for taking action
Provide tools to help you succeed
To support getting results from coaching, I ask clients to commit to the following:
Enroll Allies
These people in your life will help you spot progress and provide feedback throughout the journey.
Send Action Intentions
After our sessions, you’ll send a short email to clarify your thinking and commitment to action.
Create Intention Points
These are the moments in which you’ll pause and identify which skills you want to practice (e.g., in your Tuesday 10 a.m. staff meeting).
Adopt One New Physical Practice
Whether it’s a form of exercise, a breathing practice, a new sleep habit, a focus on nutrition, or something else, we want to identify new ways for you to feel “in the zone.”
