EXECUTIVE COACHING FOR LEADERS
Leadership is hard. It doesn’t have to feel heavy.
You’re capable—you’ve proven that. But somewhere in the difficult conversations, the decisions without clean answers, & the weight of how much depends on how you show up, it can start to feel like you’re carrying more than you should, can, or want.
Executive coaching provides is a dedicated space to examine that honestly, to look at the patterns and mindsets underneath your leadership and ask: what’s serving me, and what isn’t?
That’s the work. Not becoming someone else, but becoming a more intentional version of who you already are.
You’re a CXOs, VPs, or senior directors committed to leading with more ease and less friction.
You want to grow, not because someone told you to, but because you know there’s another level of leadership capability available to you.
You’re willing to look honestly at how you show up, including the patterns that aren’t serving you.
You can hear feedback that’s uncomfortable without shutting down.
You want a coach who understands your world, not one who’s going to hand you a framework and wish you luck.
You’re committed to doing the work between sessions.
You as a leader
Me as your coach
I have a foundational belief that although leadership may be hard, it doesn't have to feel heavy—there is a path to leading with ease
I specialize in coaching leaders who want to enhance their emotional intelligence, with an emphasis on building self-awareness and self-management to positively impact how you show up each day.
I invite clients to consider the behavioral patterns and mindsets that may limit your effectiveness, and explore alternative approaches to achieving their goals.
I bring deep empathy and compassion to each conversation, while simultaneously being willing and ready to be unapologetically direct.
What you can expect
-
Leadership Circle Profile, with a full debrief session to unpack the data and set your development priorities from what it surfaces.
-
Concrete commitments grounded in the 360 results, not vague aspirations, with start and stop behaviors to get you there.
-
Post-debrief and development plan, we’ll align with your manager on your goals, and then have mid- and end-point check-ins to recognize progress and work still to be done.
-
Consistent rhythm across the engagement, and each session builds on the last.
-
Reach out via text, email or voice note, with 24-hour response time, for the moments that don’t wait for a scheduled call.
-
We’ll have a end-of-engagement alignment call to celebrate progress and determine next steps, plus a follow-up session 3–4 months after the engagement ends to check in on what’s holding and what needs refreshed attention.
Optional additions
Narrative feedback interviews: In-depth conversations with key stakeholders that go deeper than survey data and confirms patterns from the 360 with examples.
Updated 360 at close: Re-run the Leadership Circle Profile at the end of the engagement to measure what’s shifted. Useful for leaders who want documentation of development for performance reviews or board conversations.
Engagement length
6-month and 12-month engagements available. The right length depends on the scope of what you’re working on. We’ll talk through what makes sense in the initial conversation.
