Why partner with me for coaching?
Trust - it lies deep.
My experience
My work as a Licensed Professional Clinical Therapist in Private Practice studying relationships for over 20 years has provided me a wealth of knowledge and experience, understanding and insight into the way we work as human beings. Self-awareness is essential for building authentic trust with our colleagues and teams. Improving your awareness of how you think and behave certain ways is an invaluable business skill that will translate into more positive and resilient focused action. We will take that further to develop your greatest natural strengths.
Work with me
It all begins by taking the first step. Coaching involves crafting a purposeful growth trajectory for your Leadership development. Together we evaluate the areas you wish to grow. Whether it is to implement more effective communication skills, focus on accountability and feedback, address working relationships and influence, or create a high-performance culture, I partner with you uplevel these skills. I have included more about my experience below.
Top mental fitness
Whether or not you feel stuck, coaching can clarify how your values intersect with your organizational culture. We will explore together the questions that lead to clarification how to get you to your top level. Personally we will examine the ways to improve your mental fitness so that you stop getting stuck in the same areas, you learn to shift and flex.
