One-on-One Executive & Leadership Coaching

Leadership roles can often be difficult to navigate alone. Your teams are filled with people with different personalities, skill sets, and needs. Change and disruption are occurring at an exponential pace.

Coaching can help you gain awareness of your strengths and blind spots, sharpen skills, and provide accountability. It provides a confidential and safe space to talk through and solve problems you are facing. Through the coaching process, you will create a personalized development plan that helps you become the leader you want to be. 

I am committed to supporting leaders who have experienced racism or marginalization. 

Become More Self-Aware

You will gain awareness of your strengths and opportunities for improvement, as well as blind spots and beliefs that may be impacting your leadership.

Improve Communication Skills

We’ll help you improve your communication skills so you create an engaging workplace and retain your best team members, gain alignment, and drive results.

Increase Focus and Effectiveness

Coaching provides an intentional focus on your own professional development, resulting in alignment with your core values, greater effectiveness, and career satisfaction.

No Leader is the Same

I understand that each leader is different. You have unique strengths, challenges, and opportunities. I believe those unique traits should be harnessed to empower your team by creating an organizational culture based on trust and psychological safety, continuous improvement, coaching, and a growth mindset. Reinforcing those concepts improves the employee experience, which in turn positively impacts your customer experience, and grows your company.

Our approach is not one-size-fits-all. We create a custom plan to leverages the unique qualities you bring to the table so you become the leader you want to be.
