Coach. Train. Pitch.

Confidential Leadership Coaching: Leadership coaching is the key component of my work because if the leaders aren't changing and growing then the company won't either. 

I help clients set goals and problem solve within the specific contexts of their business. Every engagement is different, but I often do an in-depth initial assessment, including interviews with direct reports and senior stakeholders, plus a an in-person goal-setting meeting. Then we meet regularly (usually twice a month for an hour), primarily in video sessions. I’m also available for ad hoc sessions since business moves quickly and you can’t always wait until the next scheduled appointment to get feedback.

I have a Master’s in Transformational Leadership from Seattle University, I am a Board Certified Coach (BCC) and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and have been coaching since 2016.

Ignition - The First Ninety Days: This package is specifically for new CEOs or individuals who have recently been promoted into executive leadership. For three months we meet weekly, strategize on how to make your leadership transition as effective as possible and work through anything that comes up. Loosely based on the classic “The First 90 Days” by Michael D. Watkins, this intensive program has been especially helpful for women, but anyone who wants an experienced confidential advisor to kick start their growth will benefit.

Team Coaching: Coaching that only focuses on individual growth works. But coaching that involves an entire team can really move a business to the next level.

Leadership Teams: I have worked with a number of leadership teams combining individual and team sessions to work on skills that benefit the individual, team and organization. These engagements start with goals for both team and individuals. I then work with most or all of an executive team to maximize the skills and dynamics of the team. While all the individual sessions are confidential, I get an understanding of team dynamics, strengths and weak spots so I can offer a strategic outside perspective to maximize performance and minimize conflict.

This makes the team sessions - whether for strategic planning, training or problem solving - more effective because I’m not an outside facilitator with limited knowledge but a consultant who deeply understands every member of the team.

Cohort Coaching: This is a new offering, where I work with a cohort of 5-10 people within a company. Sometimes, these are up and coming leaders that a company wants to develop and train, but in a more cost effective way than individual executive coaching. The curriculum is co-created with leadership and the members of the cohort, and the group meets once a month. Cohort Coaching can also be used to build relationships across senior management at larger organizations. With these more experienced leaders, I would work primarily as a facilitator, and build content based on areas they choose to explore.

Training: I offer training that is tailored to a company’s specific needs. Here are sample topics:

  • Leading through Change

  • Leadership Training for Women

  • Effectively Managing a Team - Management 101 and 201

  • Conflict at Work

  • Presentation and Negotiation skills. I also offer negotiation and presentation training specifically tailored to women

  • Changing the Narrative. Working with teams who are shifting how or what they do or sell or how they talk about what they do or sell.

Pitch: Reframe the Narrative

For select creative companies, I work with leadership/founders to build a compelling narrative to achieve business objectives. What is the story that will drive investment, build momentum and help you break through? How do leaders tell that story in a compelling way? How is the story constructed to get media attention? How is the story different from the competition?
