Executive and leadership coaching, are widely embraced as focused, facilitative, personalized, catalytic, empowering, and growth-oriented development processes that take place in a professional collaborative relationship.

​

Why this type of coaching?

​

​As you climb higher up the ladder, and not necessarily in a traditional leadership position, things change. You are expected to deal with complex organizational dynamics, challenging conversations, implement change processes, create an innovative culture, and improve performance. Peoples perceptions of you change, information flows change, competitive dynamics amongst peers change, expectations change, the pace changes, things at home change, your bodies response to the pressure changes, and anxieties change.

​

Your expertise has been honed on the technical aspects of your role, strategy, planning, tactical execution, and objective achievement, and this has served you very well. You though realize that you have not afforded enough time to understand yourself, how this plays out in how you lead, and that starting a process like this, is not  only necessary to deliver your vision and objectives, but to living a more fulfilling life.   ​

​​​​

I create a safe, neutral, supportive, collaborative, constructively challenging, interpretive, and confidential space where we work on your:

 

• Cultivating deeper self and other awareness. Developing a better understanding of human behaviour and underlying motivations.

​

• Enabling personal agency through developing deeper insight into what makes you, you. Learning to better leverage your unique strengths. Learning to acknowledge and accept that which we are inadequate with.

​

• Strengthening the foundations of your self-esteem.

​

• Developing conscious, deliberate, effective, and authentic leadership capabilities.

​

• Better understanding how self-limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome come alive, and how to work with these. 

​

• Enhancing your ability to navigate complexity, change, and/ or transitions into new roles.

 

• Making sense of your story, saying the things that need saying, and then moving forward in a way that brings growth.

 

• Developing better relationships and fostering more meaningful connections. Identifying and working with relational patters.

 

• Coming to better navigate organizational and/ or group dynamics.

 

• Holding yourself better in challenging situations and better working through personal difficulties.

 

• Making better conscious choices. Defining needs, desires, and values. Defining goals and working towards them.

 

• Improving your psychological wellbeing and better managing your anxieties. Learning to better navigate the work, love and play triad.

 

• Finding and developing sustained meaning.

 

Collectively, these outcomes contribute to building aligned teams, improving relationships, accelerating organizational performance, and achieving your objectives. When done well, this results in a systemic impact.

 

Client profile

​

The people who decide to partner with me are deeply committed to their journey and intentionally seek to work with an experienced practitioner who also has executive leadership experience. Often referred, roughly 15% of my clients come to me with personal growth as their initial objective, the other 75% arrive with something they are trying to work through – To this point:

 

• The 15% who proactively invest in their growth are significantly better prepared to navigate the inevitable complexities of life.

• Neither category express regret in starting their journey. All wished that they had begun sooner, and once they experience the benefits of their process, their commitment to the process is ongoing.

 

What unites my clients is a desire for deeper self-knowledge, a need to make better sense of their current situation, and a clear intention to move forward purposefully. They represent a diverse spectrum of industries, including accounting, academia, banking, building, consulting, coaching, creative fields, education, engineering, IT, legal, manufacturing, mental health care, medicine, retail, and the sciences.

​

Often, their pursuit of growth has already involved exploring pop-psychology, utilizing positive thinking philosophies, some past experience with coaches or therapists, engaging in coaching models based on the back end of elite or extreme sports, and completing various personality assessments. However, despite initial promise, they have found these approaches insufficient; And this has led them to them to recognize that sustainable growth requires deeper work, over time.
