Executive Coach & Leadership Development Expert
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we start?
My coaching is tailor-made for each individual but I do have a variety of frameworks, programs, and tools in my toolkit. Most coaching engagements begin with an assessment or reviewing data from recent assessments, aligning on goals for the engagement, and creating a plan with metrics to make sure we're on target.
We'll work together in private, confidential 1:1 coaching sessions. Most executive coaching clients work with me bi-weekly for a minimum of six-nine months. While tremendous awareness and insight occurs in the first three months, the following months are where the excitement of "what's new" can wear off and when coaching insights lead to action with real and lasting impact.
However, there is no one-size fits all solution, so let's chat and create a program that works for you!
I work with organizations, too. Please contact me for more information.

Step 2
Together, we'll create a plan
At the end of our conversation, if there’s a good fit and I think I can help you, I’ll invite you to work with me. If I don’t think I can help you, I”ll recommend some resources for your next step.

What's Your Leadership Philosophy?
As your coach, I don't expect you to subscribe to my leadership philosophy. Every culture and every client is different. My job is to bring out the best leader you can be and that might mean borrowing from a variety of leadership philosophies.
On the other hand, I have developed a leadership framework that includes three pillars:
Leading Yourself Leading Your Business (or function or career), and Leading Others.
A high-level overview is below.
