You already have the answers and capacity within you, and my role as a coach is to support you in removing any obstacles in the way of you accessing your own internal wisdom. Key ways I do this are by providing a supportive container for deep inquiry and clarity, sharing resources and tools, and providing accountability to help you take action and achieve your goals.

I have researched many different coaching processes and tools and have landed on a coaching practice that employs proven research based methods. Key tools and methods include: appreciative inquiry, solutions orientation, goal mapping, and a wholebeing focus. In addition, one of my strengths is my love of learning, and I am always on the lookout for new research and proven practices to incorporate into my work so that you can benefit the most from our time together. I look forward to sharing more on this and answering any questions you may have during an exploratory call!

Coaching sessions are typically an hour long, and are structured to support you and your goals. First, we will work to clarify the goal that you wish to focus your coaching engagement on. Next, I will create an engagement map to guide our time together to best support your goal and positive change. After that, coaching sessions will focus on moving you towards your ideal vision for the future related to your goal. Throughout your coaching engagement, we'll use a variety of tools and strategies for self-inquiry and exploration designed to support your growth, goal achievement, and sense of hope and happiness. We'll also create tangible action steps from week to week, and I will provide accountability support to bolster your consistent forward momentum.

I want to:

• build my leadership presence and capacity

• have better balance and boundaries with my work

• let go more and build the leadership capacity of my team

• address challenging staff or board dynamics and work toward stronger relationships

• take a sabbatical or intentional pause

• explore whether I’m ready for a career or life transition

• gain clarity around what’s next professionally or personally

• reconnect with creativity, purpose, or a deeper sense of fulfillment

• navigate burnout, overwhelm, or competing priorities more sustainably

• feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in my daily life and work

• make space for a meaningful project, goal, or new direction

• navigate a season of personal change, uncertainty, or renewal

We all need someone in our corner - we weren’t meant to do this alone, but sometimes being a leader can feel lonely or isolating. Partnering with an executive coach to work through challenges, explore opportunities, and creating space for a sounding board can make a significant difference for you and your work, as well as help you feel nourished, supported, and seen. As you make progress on your coaching goal and continue to build your strengths based leadership capacity, you will see positive ripple effects across your organization.

Coaching is a forward looking process that works to bridge the gap and support you in getting from point A to point B. This can be focused on personal or career exploration, health goals, leadership and career development, relationships, and more. Coaching can be incredibly impactful and is focused on positive growth and forward momentum.

Therapy and coaching are based on two different skill sets and have different scopes of practice. As a coach, I have specific training in positive psychology coaching and human flourishing. I also bring my personal and professional background to this work including my MBA, and decade of experience leading an organization among other things. I do not have a degree in social work, counseling, or therapy. There are many things which are outside the scope of my practice as a coach including: working with people experiencing depression, severe anxiety or grief, trauma, addiction, and mental health concerns. Therapy should be prioritized for any of the prior mentioned areas.

Once a person is in a healthy place and has reached their baseline, coaching can be a great option. Coaching can support more forward looking goals, ambitions, and dreams, and some people may pursue therapy and coaching concurrently.
