Individual Leadership Coaching
I have been formally and informally coaching leaders for the past twenty-five years in virtually all aspects of personal and professional development. I help individuals reflect deeply and positively, seeing their challenges and opportunities from the perspective of life-work rather than momentary circumstance. I frequently assist people to find their own voice, learn to trust themselves and others, and also to gain meaningful feedback from their colleagues. I serve as a supportive and truthful sounding board, helping clients discover a new knowledge of themselves and enter new ways of speaking and acting.
All coaching begins with a brief, free-of-charge conversation about goals and interests, and a check to make sure coaching is the best learning approach. I talk with people on a variable schedule -- some more regularly, such as twice a month, and others simply as the need arises. Of course, our conversations are entirely confidential. I am open to a variety of formats, from an hour or two of conversation with individuals who have found me on the web to an ongoing relationship as colleague and advisor.
