BOLDER EXECUTIVE COACHING

All leaders need support in making a difference and creating results whether you have been leading for a long time, are new in your role, or about to emerge into the next level.

My mission is empowering leaders and organizations to be bold, courageous, and confident – achieving extraordinary results and attaining peak performance. Leadership takes confidence which comes from courage. Having a partner along the way to discuss long term vision as well as real time daily issues makes a difference.

WHO I COACH

For 24 years, I’ve coached leaders not just to become great, but to be bold and extraordinary. My coaching is transformational work that is deliberately focused on change and sustainable results. This coaching is not for the faint of heart. I have been called the ‘velvet hammer’ such that you feel immediate trust and support combined with straight talk, so you truly achieve unprecedented results in your business and in your life. I know that the executives I coach are committed to big things, and I help identify your professional and personal priorities, so you are spending your time where it matters most.

COACHING FOCUS

I have discovered 7 Pillars of Leadership as recurring themes for senior leaders:

SELF-AWARENESS

A deep dive to understand what is holding you back and what will pull you forward.

INFLUENCE

Increase your and your leaders’ impact across the entire organization.

COMMUNICATION

Optimize your communication and listening with all types of people and within yourself.

RELATIONSHIPS

Build trust and strengthen your key relationships – up, down and sideways.

GROWING PEOPLE

Develop your people in the way THEY need and for the greater good of the organization.

STRATEGY & THINK TIME

Schedule essential time for yourself to think big and leverage your value.

PERSONAL WELL-BEING

Put on the oxygen mask now. Self-care is no longer an option, it’s a lifeline.
