This emphasis on strengths also requires identifying any specific behaviors or habits that may have served them in the past but could undermine them as they move to higher levels —  strengths that could threaten to become weaknesses as their span of authority and influence broadens.

The client and I then develop a detailed plan for acting on her top identified strengths, addressing potential challenges and holding herself accountable for growth, in part by engaging others in her development.

My coaching experience is individualized, tailored to your needs and interests. The process is collaborative and highly interactive with feedback that is clear, accurate, and compassionate. I utilize data from emotional intelligence, usually beginning with an assessment, and then we address those gaps in the aspects that are essential for successful management and contribute toward becoming a more effective leader. 

I view the coaching process as a relationship-building opportunity, and consequently, I don’t approach it with preconceived notions. I borrow from different coaching frameworks and modalities to find an approach that works for you. I learn about you through your stories. 

How can technology support a coaching engagement?

Each coaching client has a secure, personalized web page where we track our progress and conversations and keep in touch between sessions. I share research, data and important articles and podcasts on our page. Many find it helpful to have a single place where we track our work together.
