1-on-1 Coaching to help you lead from your best self.
So much about leadership begins with ourselves. When we lead, no matter where we are, what challenges we face, or accomplishments we celebrate, we bring our whole selves to our work. Regardless of the goals we set out to achieve or those we wish to inspire, working on our “inner game” is what empowers us as leaders to experience fulfillment in our work. Our coaching is designed to help you identify your strengths as a leader, giving you a clear path for growth as you leverage those strengths for you and your team.
“Each session has resulted in the discovery of a very simple and actionable tool or technique that I can employ to achieve the results I desire within the company while also maintaining honor and respect for each employee."

Feeling weighed down, stuck, or lost?
It can be easy to feel the burden of leading an organization. Whether it’s well-established or a startup, as a leader, people are looking to you for direction and to set an example. As you do your best to navigate the complexities of leading, and because you desire to grow yourself as a leader, you may have picked up some books on leadership, watched some videos or attended a workshop. While you get great tips and information from these, you still feel stuck and a bit weighed down.

Why work with me as your coach?
I’ve been “the leader”.
With over 20 years of organizational leadership experience, I understand what it’s like to be “the leader”. In addition to leading legacy organizations with a director team and a full staff, I’ve also successfully founded a nonprofit, growing it from a volunteer-run organization with 20+ staff and international operations. As a professional Interim Executive, I’ve led mission-based organizations through transformation and rapid change, including mergers.
Learn your authentic leadership style.
I believe that each leader brings something unique and special to a team. When people are allowed space to discover and lean into their strengths, values, and purpose, then they freely begin to do their best work. This inspires others to do the same. My coaching sessions are no different, allowing you to identify and be reminded about your unique leadership style. As you align yourself to this, your authenticity will pay dividends for you and those you lead.
"Prior to starting coaching, I felt battered and ill equipped to meet the many challenges I was facing in leading my organizations. Now, I have confidence that I will find the answers and have returned to a state of satisfaction, enjoyment and confidence in leading."
-CEO & Business Owner
How coaching works
1. Initial meeting
During our first session, we’ll work together to develop a coaching relationship and identify your goals. We’ll use a short questionnaire sent to you as a beginning point for our conversation.
2. Work on growth in real-time
Each session, we’ll cover a topic that you are presently thinking about or a situation you are working through as you lead. All of our conversations are confidential, allowing you to be open as you learn more about how you lead best. You’ll find that coaching will help you learn new truths - and be reminded of some things you already know - about yourself as a leader.
3. Regular check-ins & accountability
At the close of each session, you’ll walk away with at least one actionable step you can take to improve your leadership. Regular check-ins take place throughout our engagement, ensuring we end up attaining the growth goals you identify. As you act on your increased self-awareness and learning, you’ll experience the transformative power of coaching on your leadership.
I work with business and nonprofit executives, founders, and senior leaders, including directors and managers who carry significant responsibility and want a place to think clearly, lead well, and sustain themselves over time.
My coaching is not designed as a short-term intervention. It is structured as an ongoing relationship that supports leaders as they navigate complexity, transition, growth, and the human realities of leadership.
Most clients work with me over an extended period and come through referral.
Leadership Coaching Subscriptions and Packages
How Coaching Engagements Are Structured
Coaching is offered through a subscription model that emphasizes continuity rather than episodic support.
Engagements typically include:
An ongoing coaching relationship.
Regular conversations (most often biweekly - 30 or 60 min. in length).
Space to work with real, current leadership challenges.
A steady rhythm that supports reflection, decision-making, and alignment.
If desired, an opportunity for concrete feedback through a leadership or work style assessment.
This structure allows coaching to become part of how leaders lead - not something added on when things feel urgent.
Subscriptions usually run for six to twelve months or more and are intentionally limited in number. Custom packages and engagements for shorter-term and/or multiple leaders in an organization are possible, depending upon your needs. Connect with me, and we can craft your ideal coaching engagement together.
Coaching FAQs
-
Leadership begins with self-awareness. Leadership and performance coaching provides a place for people to gain that self-awareness, aligning their leadership style more closely with their particular strengths and personality. Out of this alignment comes increased confidence, effectiveness, and fulfillment.
-
Leadership coaching is both for experienced and aspiring leaders. Whether you’ve been a C-suite executive for decades or someone considering dipping their toe in management, coaching can prove beneficial. Sessions are customized to the client, allowing you to receive the maximum benefit from our time together.
-
Absolutely not. Leadership and performance coaching is not meant to be a prescribed corrective measure for a recognized deficiency in performance identified by an organization. While tools and assessments may be used during the coaching process, these are always used in service of the client, with the client interpreting the results to increase their own self-awareness.
-
The greatest athletes have coaches work with them throughout their career, helping them to remain at the top of their game. The same holds true for those in any line of work. Leadership coaching is meant for those who, at any point in time and at any skill level, want to increase their effectiveness as a leader.
-
Not necessarily. Coaching is not mentorship. For coaching to be effective, a coach does not need to have been where you are. They are simply a guide that helps you through a process of realizing more about yourself and how to unlock your potential. It's more important that you connect with your coach. The most effective coach for you will consistently help you bring out the best in yourself.
