Executive Coaching
Being a leader today is often complex and overwhelming. Most of us struggle day to day to feel like we’ve tapped into our potential and that we’re having the impact we want to. And few us of feel a deep sense of fulfillment or joy in our role.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The alternative is a form of conscious leadership with more impact and less effort.
I partner with executive and senior leaders to help them create a reset on that complexity and overwhelm to create a leadership mindset that to lead with more courage, confidence, clarity, and calm.
you have to simplify to amplify…
The hard truth to resolve is that you have too much and that is driving the complexity and overwhelm in your leadership role (and life).
You’ve accumulated a lifetime of beliefs, ideas, and commitments and not all of them are useful or even true anymore (your personal version of leadership bullsh*t). And there’s a need to declutter that noise to create the space you need to make room for what matters the most and become a minimalistic leader.
Minimalistic leadership isn't about having less for the sake of less; it's about stripping away the non-essential and junk to create more space for clarity, purpose, and meaningful engagement.
As a minimalistic leader, you’ll find easier access to our courage and confidence in conflicts and difficult conversations. You’ll find more clarity and clam by decluttering your leadership bullsh*t and aligning your actions with what’s essential to you, your values, and your deeper sense of self.
Let’s connect and see how minimalistic leadership can help you unlock a life of more meaning, fulfillment, and impact!
…and you have to cut to create
My commitment to you as a client is to offer robust challenge, support, and availability, so all of my clients have access to unlimited coaching sessions. My goal is to help you grow as a person and a leader, not count the number of sessions.
This approach also means that I have a limited number of clients and only take on clients who are fully invest in doing the work to improve themselves as people and leaders — folks who are willing to lean into curiosity and humility to experiment, explore, fail, and embrace learning as the foundation of being a better leader.
Team Coaching
Change how your team works by changing how your team thinks.
Imagine what it would be like to...
Have transparent insights into your colleagues’ priorities?
Understand why some of your team members resist change?
Generate collaborative ideas, faster, with less effort?
Work in a place where diverse voices and perspectives mattered?
Have more energy for work, not less?
Team coaching is all about drawing out new information from the members of the team, increasing positivity in the team, and working together to find more effective and cohesive responses to the challenges you face.
If you are willing to put in the work, your team can become more connected, cohesive, and courageous.
I work with teams that are having a range of experiences, from trying to recover from conflict to maintaining success as a high-performing team. You want your team to work better together, have a healthy team culture, and do work that matters.
Maybe your team is struggling with the conflict and uncertainty of change. (All teams do.)
They worry they won’t get it right. They want to be nice but nice is leaving them resentful and drained. They want their team to take more ownership of the team’s success.
Through our sessions, I help them become teams that face challenges head-on with courage and compassion. They lean into tough conversations, navigate fears and feelings, build safety and trust, promote diversity and inclusion, and create higher-performing teams. And they don’t sacrifice themselves or their values to get there.
Relationship is the currency that runs organizations.

FAQS
-
Executive leadership coaching focuses on helping you become a better leader by helping you become a better version of yourself. We’ll do that through one-on-one conversations, where you a topic or issue you want insight or action on, and we’ll help you develop insights, clarity, and an action plan.
-
In team coaching, the focus is on the whole group as an “entity,” a thing that emerges from the relationships, culture, and connections between the people in the group.
In team coaching, everyone in the group is partially right and partially wrong. No one is the single holder of all truth in the group, and if one person has a thought or feeling, that thought or feeling is present for the whole group.
The outcomes of team coaching can be very similar to individual coaching: creating awareness and insights and/or creating preparedness for action. The real difference is this happens in the space of interplay between all of the people in the room, and an essential element of team coaching is constantly revealing the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the team members to the rest of the group – to make our interior lives more known to the whole group.
-
Coaching has the potential to help anyone with two key requirements: 1) you are ready to invest in being more of the person you want to be and having more of the life you want to have, and 2) you are willing to sit in the discomfort of exploring new mindsets and perspectives and trying things you haven’t or wouldn’t try before.
-
The most common cadence is bi-weekly. This helps balance maintaining momentum and having time to act on, reflect, or explore ideas and insights that happened during the previous session. Clients seeking more rapid change may schedule weekly sessions for the additional partnership, support, and accountability that shorter gaps provide.
-
There are two common approaches to preparing for sessions.
Approach #1: come with a clear topic and agenda to focus on, something that you want different in your leadership or your life (eg., resolving a work conflict, having an important conversation with a colleague or boss, delegating more to your team ).
Approach #2: partner with your coach during your session to explore several potential topics and choose one that feels the most important or pressing to you. Which approach you choose is up to you, and as a coach, I strongly encourage you to make an intentional choice, rather than an accidental or default to approach #2 because you didn’t spend time to get clear out of what you want from that session.
-
You’re here, and that’s step one.
Next, look for resonance and hesitations. Do I seem like an interesting person you can learn and work with? Does my style, language, and approach create any spark or interest for you?
If those questions are both “yes” for you, book some time with me and see if I show up in a way that feels empowering and helps you step towards the version of you you are seeking.
Good coaching will dive into deep and difficult conversations – it’s not all puppies and unicorns. It’s essential that you feel like I am a trustworthy and caring partner in those conversations, and that I have what you need to sit in the muck with you when you feel stuck, messy, and confused.
