Some of the most common questions I get are "so, how does your coaching work?" or "what's your process?"  Hopefully what I describe below – and on the other pages of my site – helps to answer these questions.

Schedule a Discovery Session

The first step is to schedule a Discovery Session on Zoom. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about my coaching approach, and for me to develop an understanding of what you want from coaching. I’ll also likely offer additional resources and possibly a referral or two. You’ll get more clarity about whether coaching is right for you, and together we’ll start to get a sense of how we would partner together.

Coaching Program Design

Following our initial consultation, I develop a program design based on your needs and goals.  Because it will take time for us to identify what assumptions, thinking, and behaviors you will need to change, and because it will take time to implement those changes and embed them in your daily life, coaching programs typically last a minimum of three to six months.  The design of your program will evolve collaboratively as we work together, so that it best meets your needs.

I work on a package basis – not by the hour – so that I am able to work from a place of generosity and make sure your needs are met.  My packages typically include regular (weekly or bi-weekly) sessions, as-needed ad-hoc sessions, and phone and email support between sessions, and they typically with a 3-month commitment – because change takes at least that long.  I work with you to develop a payment plan that is easy for us both.

Example Programs

Executive Development Package (C-Suite, SVP, VP, GM, Senior Director)

Coaching senior leaders most often focuses on vertical development, helping these leaders to advance their thinking ability, approaching problems and opportunities in a more complex, systemic, strategic, and interdependent manner. Horizontal development of leadership competencies is often an area of focus, especially when coupled with a 360 review.

Areas of Focus:

Included in Each Package:

• Weekly Coaching (as needed)

• Assessment Options:

  • The Leadership Circle 360

  • Hogan Personality Inventory (3 reports)

  • R2 Strengths Profile

• Email follow-ups

• On Demand Email and Phone Support

Leadership Development Package (Director, Manager, High Potential)

Coaching less senior leaders and high potential employees often involves both vertical and horizontal development equally.  These individuals typically benefit from education on the nature of vertical development and systems thinking and coaching them on developing these abilities.  Horizontal development is more focused on self-management skills, more basic leadership competencies, and building more advanced skills in managing and leading others.

Areas of focus:

Included in Each Package:

• Bi-Weekly Coaching (as needed)

• Assessment Options (choice of one):

  • The Leadership Circle 360

  • Hogan Personality Inventory (3 reports)

  • R2 Strengths Profile

• Quarterly Progress Reporting (w HR and Manager as required)

Schedule a Discovery Session to explore the possibility of working together.
