Sometimes we are just too involved, too close and cannot see the forest for the trees. By creating space to tell your story, you will often find clarity in our very first session. Acknowledging areas in which you are frustrated or stuck opens you to begin a process where you can create a global view and tease out the details to start seeing  challenges with clarity. Once you can see it clearly, you often know the answer. 

As your accountability partner, I create achievable and measurable goals that break through barriers. We will meet at a cadence designed to meet your goals (often every 2-3 weeks) for 60-90 minutes.

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.

Confidence is critical to success and negative self-talk is one the biggest inhibitors to our success. It’s so easy to see all the problems, pitfalls, and reasons why failure awaits us, so much so, that it can actually stop us from even trying. My goal is to help you visualize your success, put a plan in place, build confidence and eliminate the imposter syndrome.

Ideas need to be nurtured and challenged for them to grow. We can work through your idea, test its assumption, and build on its strength. New and innovative ideas form when a leader enables and encourages collaboration, taps ideas from all ranks and engages diverse perspectives.

Teams thrive when the leader removes bureaucracy, provides intellectual challenge, invites people to pursue their passions, embraces the certainty of failure, and is an attentive listener and an appreciative audience.

I bring an unbiased view. We all have our prejudices, preconceived notions, or beliefs about people or situations that can actually be detrimental to our performance and decision-making. By listening to your story, I help you differentiate reality from perception; to help you find the truth and help you reach better choices.

The truth is many of us approach decision making from the same perspective over and over. We use the same tools and habits every time, even if the decisions are vastly different. But following the same strategy for every problem limits your abilities. To make better decisions, you need to break out of these patterns and see things differently, even if it is uncomfortable.

First, you need to understand your own decision-making strengths and your blind spots: What is the psychology of your decision making? What is your typical approach? What mental mistakes or cognitive biases tend to get in your way? Looking inward to what you value can illuminate why you make decisions the way you do — and how you might be short changing yourself with your approach. From there, you can disrupt your traditional processes.
