Coaching

Coaching is a collaborative partnership built on trust, honesty, objectivity and a deep commitment to client transformation. Through coaching, clients combine insight with action to create new possibilities and tap into their innate resourcefulness.

As your coach I will share objective reflections and ask powerful questions to support you in discovering new patterns of thinking and authentic ways of being which allow you to take responsibility for the way you receive, speak, and act.  This provides access to lasting transformation in all aspects of your life. 

Together we will evaluate the way you view your circumstances and how you choose to own your responsibilities to your work and to yourself.  We will discover and declare what you are deeply committed to and how you can live in accordance with those commitments. In our sessions we will utilize intentional tools and generate personalized practices to empower you in your leadership, creativity, and well-being.

Some of the coaching tools that I utilize include:

  • Initial Assessment: We’ll start with questionnaire to get clear on on the current landscape (challenges, what’s working/what’s not)

  • Goal Setting: Setting SMART goals for the coaching agreement -objectives, measures, and outcomes

  • One-on-One Sessions: One hour a week, based on the client’s coaching requests and elevated to leadership, communication, well-being, and other high-level topics

  • Practices: Co-created practices that turn insights from the coaching sessions into declared actions which will create and embody intended results

  • Results Review:  Check-in sheets to track goals, practices, and progress throughout the coaching engagement

  • Integrity Exercises: Align intentions, actions, and words, to create clarity and reduce miscommunication and frustration

  • Communication Styles: Identifying and defining different communication styles so we can intentionally and effectively engage. Considering how many people we all communicate with, it’s important to be aware and deliberate with the way we receive and express.

Sample Group Coaching Sessions

Identifying and Understanding the 4 Main Communication Styles

This session helps managers recognize the different ways people communicate and what each style needs in order to feel heard. It's less about changing how you speak and more about learning how to respond in a way that actually lands with the other person, especially in high-pressure moments.

Leading with Confidence, Integrity, and Choice
This workshop invites managers to define what leadership means to them and how they want to show up. We explore how integrity (when your thoughts, words, and actions are aligned) builds real confidence, and how to use everyday choices to be intentional with the kind of leader they want to be.

The Burnout Reset
Managers explore how their mindset, emotional habits, and physical patterns shape their experience of pressure and stress. We take an honest look at common burnout triggers like over-committing, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, and focus on small, intentional shifts that support well-being, boundaries, and sustainable leadership.

Strengthening Workplace Relationships
This session focuses on strengthening relationships in all directions: across teams, with direct reports, peers, and upper leadership. Managers learn how to communicate their needs, create shared goals, and collaborate more effectively, even when each team’s role or perspective is different.
