Your questions. Your expertise. Your answers.

You’re the expert in your situation.

You’re creative and capable.

Still, you may benefit from a thinking partner who will:

  • ask key questions,

  • hold space for uncertainty until answers emerge,

  • help find joy and humor in the midst of ambiguity,

  • elicit clarity, and

  • be an accountability partner when desired.

This is what coaching offers.

What Is Coaching for Leaders?

Coaching is a conversation that begins with clarifying and thought-provoking questions from the coach. The answers emerge from your expertise, knowledge, talents, and values.

Put another way, through questions and dialogue, the coach provides independent feedback and acts as a catalyst in you uncovering your own solutions.

Coaching is not consulting. Consultants analyze a situation and propose answers for you to implement.

In contrast, coaches partner with you in finding your answers, in building your capacities and understandings, in your growth. Coaches help you develop your leadership to meet the circumstance.

Each model has a place, and I do offer consulting when that is a more appropriate model, typically for an organization rather than an individual. Please contact me if you’d like more information.

If you’re curious, contact me to schedule a free 30-minute online meeting where we can discuss what you’re hoping to accomplish. If it’s a fit, together we’ll create a plan for our work together to move toward your goals.

Whether your leadership is professional or personal, formal or informal, or even aspirational - coaching offers the perfect venue to evaluate problems and consider new solutions, new skills, and new approaches. It’s a supportive space to process your choices.

When should you consider coaching?

  • When you want to improve your communication skills and ability to develop leadership in others.

  • When you’re avoiding difficult conversations or would like to handle them better.

  • When you want to grow your group leadership skills.

  • When you want to stop being the bottleneck in your own success.

  • When you need to focus on priorities.
