Leader Coaching

Welcome

You’ve no doubt, at some point, thought about finding a different pathway to greater self-fulfillment and actualization as a leader. Perhaps an experience where you can more confidently and safely grow from where you are most fulfilled, and most aligned with your purpose.

Throughout my career working with C-suites, I’ve been able to collaborate with and support extraordinary people of courage, of pioneering business or technology foresight, those with world-class humor, and others battling their ‘inner demons’ that all of us have as humans.

It’s a bucket list of extraordinary moments, experiences, endurances, close calls, and triumphant successes within a wide range of leadership contexts and accomplishment.

A few years ago I had an opportunity to transition some of my chief leader clients into coaching relationships, and I’ve never looked back. The notion of service to others’ ambitions is a privilege and the best healer. It’s a sacred transfer of energy in support and inspiration.

For over 25 years I’ve been an advisor in direct support of a wide range of leaders across the spectrum of public and private competitive contexts and involving over 20 different industries. It’s been about helping men, women, leaders of color and identities, work through their personal and professional experiences to apply new approaches to resolving their organization challenges and leader development goals. (I’m particularly aligned to working with leaders who fit a diversity profile.)

It’s all about accelerating their transition from impactful to transformational – working from the inside out.

My coaching is not for everyone. It is for the more courageous leader who has had enough with what’s going on right now (need I say more?) and who wants to take the helm to lead change as they want to see it for themselves and their stakeholders. It’s peer-to-peer personal engagement that is organic, never formulaic, and driven by what’s best for what the leader needs. There are plenty of others who can offer prescribed methods and processes but from my experience, when you’re a senior leader, you need a peer confidant.

Especially one who has more likely than not ‘been there, lived that’.

I’d welcome the opportunity to explore working with you.
