Couples Coaching Book

EXECUTIVE AND LEADERSHIP COACHING

Our coaching partnership will help you reflect deeply, think creatively, connect divergent dots, and include what’s on the margins—within yourself and on your teams. You’ll learn to use your powers wisely—both your personal powers, and the powers ascribed by your role, position or social status. You’ll become more confident within yourself, and more able to empower those around you.

The world is messy and you will mess up. You may stumble, fail or fall– and then get back up. Our work will help make that process less painful, more efficient, and deeply meaningful. It will transform the way you solve problems as you move towards achieving your goals.

Three things are required for success: 1) an ability to self-reflect, 2) a drive to learn, and 3) the courage to unlearn.

 
 

My Approach and Style

My coaching methods are grounded in behavioral science, neuroscience, consciousness studies, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and ancient wisdom traditions. I bring a PhD in psychology and three decades of experience to my work with executives, leaders, partners and teams. 

If you need someone who can listen well, that’s definitely me. If you need someone who will listen and ask probing questions only (as coaches are sometimes instructed), that’s definitely not me. I do have a tendency (and the aptitude!) to teach, advise, consult and occasionally boss you around. My style is warm, but very direct. I’m told I’m not fluffy.

HOW COACHING WORKS

We partner to create a personalized development plan with key areas of focus and clearly defined goals. In some cases, I use assessment tools and/or 360-performance reviews, to gain a thorough understanding of the context in which you operate. And here’s where my decades of therapeutic experience come to bear on our work… I know the human landscape.

We hone in on the emotional triggers that get in the way of your goals, explore your belief systems, uncover what’s blocking you, and practice new ways of responding. I suggest exercises designed to help you sharpen your awareness and ground new behaviors. Ultimately, we rethink your constraints, reframe your weaknesses and turn your pain points into superpowers.
